Former President Bill Clinton said his weight problem and brush with death are the catalysts behind his foundation's initiative of tackling childhood obesity.
Once famous for his love of fast food, Clinton told CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta that bad health habits since childhood led to his September 2004 quadruple bypass surgery. That operation, he said, opened his eyes to a larger issue, and he turned his attention to the problem of overweight American children.
"The brush with death I had maybe had the biggest impact of all," Clinton recalled. "I realized that one more time I've been given another chance, and I wanted to make the most of it."
Clinton, who admits "I was the fat band boy," said he knows what unhealthy eating habits can do to a young body.

I bet he was a real toad in school. Probably tattled on people and got picked on a lot.

What would you look like if you lived with Hillary?
I mean, just the blood she sucks alone would make you pale.
Hmmm....I think the editor accidentally put in a "t" rather than a "g"
And here I thought The Jerk was born a poor black child.
The RATS motto...
It's for the CHILLLLLLLDREN!!!
My first thought with the title - Hillary's a boy????
It's really amazing how this bloated, dysfunctional slob somehow has even a shred of credibility as a "policy expert" on health-related issues.
Hopes to skim off some money?
And trasnposed "band" and "fat."
There are not many people who need attention as much as this guy.
Oh, PALEASE, Bill.. STOP talking.
