UFC color commentator, Joe Rogan doesn’t really see eye-to-eye with the vegan lifestyle, as he is a massive fan of the carnivore diet. Rogan routinely goes out on hunting trips and shares his find on social media. He also finds joy in cooking and engages in that activity from time to time.

Despite his stance on veganism, Rogan understands the importance of its activism. At one point, the veteran comedian even toyed with the idea to give up meat and take up a vegetarian lifestyle.

Rogan doesn’t approve of a purely plant-based diet, as he believes it is flawed. Dubbing it ideological warfare, he even nodded that veganism is indeed doing a lot of right things, but it doesn’t offer all the nutrients.

However, it did not stop Rogan from making a sarcastic comment toward the Hollywood Actor & Vegan Activist James Cromwell. Apparently, his innovative way to protest against Starbucks located in Midtown Manhattan made him laugh.

Cromwell took it upon himself to raise his voice against the coffeehouse for demanding an extra surcharge for plant-based milk. He reportedly glued his hand on the counter in protest and used it to drive the prices down. The story was surely going to attract a response as Rogan shared the image and took a cheeky dig at the actor, “Someone had to take a stand.”
