Screenwriter and showrunner Taylor Sheridan is known for creating the Paramount drama seriesYellowstone. The show stars Kevin Costner as a patriarch of the Yellowstone Ranch and has to deal with the power struggles that arise within the family and from the outside. The show has been widely acclaimed for its depiction of rural American life and its writing.
One of the reasons why Sheridan’s portrayal of American life looks so authentic is due to him owning a ranch himself and farming and maintaining it. The writer also has strong opinions on veganism and the ethical reasoning behind turning vegan. He had mentioned onThe Joe Rogan Experiencepodcast that going vegan for ethical reasons was one of the most absurd things ever.
Taylor Sheridan’s Opinion On Veganism
Taylor Sheridanhas written and created multiple shows that have been universally acclaimed for their writing and performances. From films such asSicarioandWind Riverto shows likeMayor of Kingstown, the former actor has been appreciated for his craft in creating intense dramatic affairs. His most acclaimed creation was the Kevin Costner starring neo-WesternYellowstone.
Many have consideredYellowstone’s central theme to be the battle between ‘true’ American life and the emerging urban-centric way of living. The protagonists, the Dutton family, find themselves in a fight to protect their ranch from businessmen who want to ‘develop’ the land. Sheridan’s time in the states of Texas and Wyoming was reportedly the inspiration for the show.
Taylor Sheridan has been vocal about his love for the traditional way of American living and has criticized some of the more modern approaches to living, which has also seeped into the show. In a scene, Costner’s character explains the number of animals, insects, and rodents that are killed while growing vegan-friendly products such as quinoa to a vegan character.

Sheridan reportedly felt the same about veganism in real life as he mentioned inThe Joe Rogan Experiencewhat his opinion on veganism was. He said,
“I think one of the most absurd positions anyone can take, is they’re a vegan for an ethical reason…You can do it for a medical reason…And the reason I say that is I have plowed a field…It is 12-feet of carnage. And every single plant that you eat is going to be tilled into the ground at some capacity. So you’re gonna kill everything… People have to understand, you have to take ownership.”
Taylor Sheridan also went on to say that in every ecosystem a living thing existed a the expense of another organism, and hence it made no sense to turn vegan for ethical reasons.
