“Thank you for what you did for the animals, Mr. Barker!” commented a fan. “Dude went from a handsome guy to a cute old man. He’s one of my heroes,” wrote another follower. “If Bob Barker can become a vegetarian, I guess it’s never too late,” a third fan chimed in. “Vegetarianism is an OK first step , but going completely VEGAN has multiple health benefits for you & the animals,” another user wrote.
