NASCAR veteran AJ Allmendinger's wife Tara has recently been spreading awareness over the dire need of a strict diet and the usage of "poisonous" preservatives in sealed food items. She is an active social media creator and maintains a healthy reach on her Instagram handle.
NASCAR veteran and Xfinity Series driver AJ Allmendinger has marked his presence in the sport for nearly two decades. On top of being an Xfinity Series legend, the 42-year-old driver has also won three Cup Series races over the course of his career.
Following his full-time stint in the Cup Series with Kaulig Racing last season, Allmendinger returned to Xfinity Series for the 2024 campaign, continuing his quest for a Series title.
While Allmendinger continues competing at a high level, his wife Tara Meador is an active social media influencer. The former Mrs. North Carolina keeps her followers updated by posting snippets of her daily life with her husband and their nine-month-old son.
Recently, Tara took to her Instagram stories to share details about her stringent dietary choices and the reasoning behind this. She initially reposted a video about the usage of carcinogenic preservaties in sealed food items.

She then went on to share another post, suggesting why she maintains a healthy diet. With the help of a pie chart, the post explained:
- "I am a health freak."
- "I want to live forever."
- "I found out the big corporations and the entire food industry, controlled by this f***ing system, are intentionally poisoning us and I've decided not to be a stupid lab-rat anymore."
