Danica Patrick Recounted Her Bad Experience With “Tree Huggers” & “Vegans” When She Appeared on Joe Rogan’s Spotify Podcast

The popular former Cup Series driver Danica Patrick always manages to hit the headlines and shock the world with her unabashed comments. In a throwback podcast, she spills some beans on a controversial yet critical issue that certainly raises some questions.

In a Joe Rogan Experience podcast from 2018, she revealed a lot of things about herself that would contradict her as a racer. Well, that is the Danica Patrick that we all know. Joe Rogan covers wide-ranging issues in the interviews with his guests. While talking to Patrick, he asked her if she knew how much fossil fuel she burns or if she ever thought or had a chart on how much fossil fuel an average person burns.

The former Stewart-Haas Racing driver told Rogan, “Oh I would not be doing well on that. I would not do well with the tree huggers or vegans of the world and all the people loving animals. I’m all those people; I love the forest, I try and eat vegetables most of the time, things like that. But yeah, I also don’t do my part when it comes to my job.”

Danica revealed in the past that she had questioned herself about all the protein that comes from animals. She tried being on a vegan diet but stopped following it as she loves meat. She said it just makes her feel better and look good.
