Bill Clinton: Going vegan has kept me alive

By Mark Hensch

Former President Clinton on Thursday credited a vegan diet with preserving his health after leaving the Oval Office.

“[It] changed my life,” he said in Las Vegas, according to Politico. "I might not be around if I hadn’t become a vegan. It’s great."

Clinton, 69, then touted the lifestyle improvements he has experienced by practicing a vegan diet and avoiding most animal food products.

“The vegan diet is what I like the best,” he said. "I have more energy. I never clog. For me, the no dairy thing, because I had an allergy, has really helped a lot. And I feel good.”

The nation’s 42nd chief executive admitted he is not always strictly vegan, and added that he has also not always enjoyed the food.

He looks and sounds like death warmed over.

The veggies must be in full rebellion.

If the alternative was Big Macs, perhaps, but otherwise, no.

He will shortly run out of some essential amino acids, and if you saw Jurassic Park, you know what that means.

So he’s vegan unless he’s having a cheeseburger or a bowl of ice cream. Cool.

I’m more surprised that the VDs haven’t caught up with him. I don’t know how being a Vegan prevents chlamydia.

Do all those vegetables have some sort of penicillin type properties that fight all the latent untreated end stage syphilis?

I figured that something was keeping him alive but I doubt its the diet. He probably has access to a secret concoction.

Being vegan means no dairy, no meat, no eggs, no fish, no poultry, no honey and you don’t even eat off of bone china.

BC eats meat and fish and eggs.
