Bill Clinton dishes on vegan diet
Politico ^ | July 31, 2013 | Caitlin McDevitt

After three years on a vegan diet, former President Bill Clinton says he doesn’t crave steak. But cutting back on bread has been tough.

"Heavily processed carbs, you really have to control that," Clinton told AARP in a recent interview about his eating habits. The former president, now 66, went on a strict diet after a health scare in 2010, and he says he's kept it up.

Clinton, famous for his hearty appetite in the White House, has admitted before that he cheats sometimes.

My favorite Clinton photo ops

1) the 20 pound Bible

2) When he was caught by a cameraman laughing with someone at a funeral...looks up and spots the cameraman, and wipes a fake tear from his eye : )

I once worked with a vegan. He had the standard 8 hour day. I think he slept through about 4 of those hours every day. His work was seriously deficient. I would fix the errors and then he would (when he was awake) would go back and change them back to what we had before!

Pain in the butt! Fix something and have some jackass who can’t stay awake at work unfix it.

My sister went to a vegetarian diet for some time and eventually became deficient of iron. (Even though she was taking a supplement.) After having a serious problem just getting out of bed, her doctor advised her to begin eating MEAT!

She now eats chicken and seafood as a part of her diet and is doing much better.

One of the things about predators is that they normally have their eyes looking directly in front of them.

Eat Meat!

Agreed. I’ve found a Paleo style diet to be the best for me.

I don’t disagree with Clinton (about making processed carbs a relatively rare “treat food”), but come on: ANYone could stick to a lower-carb diet if they had Clinton’s wealth. If I had $3M plus a year coming in, I’d have a staffed kitchen, etc., etc.

A vegan diet is slow suicide. Bye bye Bill.

Evil tyrants with robust health care generally tend to live long lives, not sure why, but FR has been forecasting the end of ole BJ for a long, long time.

And let's not forget he cheats at golf, too. Recall the phony story when he said he broke 80 — mulligans, gimmees, too many clubs in the bag.

Pathetic creature from whom all pathetic ‘RATS now flow: Spitzer, Weiner, Filner, etc.

Agree....I grew up in an area heavily populated by Seventh Day Adventists - who’ve been strictly ‘vegan’ before there was the word ‘vegan’...........our family doctor was of that sect, but he always told the family to ignore the silliness, and eat meat - lots of it.
