Joe Rogan, the popular podcast host, has always been a strong advocate of meat-based diets. He is famous for his love of hunting and often talks about the benefits of consuming meat from animals he has hunted legally. However, in one of his podcasts titled ‘The Game Changers Debate’ with James Wilks and Chris Kresser, he discussed the potential benefits of a vegan diet. This episode drew praise from none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger, who himself is a vegan. During the podcast, Rogan openly acknowledged the environmental benefits of plant-based diets and also spoke about his personal experience with vegetarianism.
Joe Rogan is an avid hunter, and he believes in consuming meat from animals he has hunted. However, he is careful to ensure that he hunts within the legal parameters. Rogan often visits areas where hunting is allowed and takes part in hunting deer and other animals.
He has spoken about the importance of hunting in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem, as it controls the population of certain species.
Despite being a strong advocate of meat-based diets, Rogan has been the subject of criticism from the vegan community. In one of his podcasts, he spoke with a hunter who runs a restaurant in Canada, serving meat-based dishes.
However, the restaurant was targeted by vegans who staged protests outside the premises. The situation escalated to the point where protestors would interrupt customers from entering the restaurant and even broke the windows.
Despite this, Rogan maintains that he respects the choices of others and advocates for ethical and sustainable hunting practices.
When ex-California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger lauded Joe Rogan
Joe Rogan had paleo advocate Chris Kresser as a guest on his podcast, where he gave arguments for the opposite side of veganism. However, after the podcast, Rogan made an Instagram post revealing his conclusion. Rogan said:
“James knocked it out of the park and defended himself and the film quite spectacularly. So much so that I’m actually considering taking the original breakdown of the film offline.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger, the ex-California governor, and a prominent figure in the vegan community, commented on Rogan’s post, appreciating what Rogan had to say. He said,
“Joe, I just want you to know I’m proud of you for always having an open mind and being willing to listen and change your mind about some things. It’s too rare and if more of our politicians could do that, we’d be much better off. Thank you.”
He appreciates the fact that Rogan kept an open mind. Moreover, he also expresses how if politicians did it, then implementing changes in the system would be a lot easier.
How vegan was helpful for Schwarzenegger
Arnold Schwarzenegger, a well-known advocate for a sustainable and plant-based lifestyle, has been following a plant-based diet for over five years. Schwarzenegger recently revealed that his diet has significantly improved his health, with his cholesterol levels dropping to a healthy range.
He said, “My bad cholesterol number is so low that my doctor thought I might be a different person.”
Despite following a primarily plant-based diet, the seven-time Mr. Olympia still enjoys the occasional steak. During a recent visit to the doctor, the results were shocking, as Schwarzenegger’s blood work came back perfect.
His diet proves that plant-based living can be sustainable and delicious, while also promoting optimal health. Schwarzenegger continues to encourage others to incorporate more plant-based foods into their diet, while also emphasizing the importance of quality and sustainability in food choices.
