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

Every Vegan I know, over age 30, looks like hell... All five of them.
69?? He looks 89.
He don’t look alive. He looks like a wraith.
He has poison sucked out of him regularly by the “Energizer”.
He only eats vegetables?
I am not a vegan. I like my steak. But, I also know that what Americans eat is killing us.
He looks like hell, but he actually is his target weight. We are “programmed” to accept bodies that are twenty or thirty pounds overweight as “normal.”
A quick trip to any grocery store or mall will support my stand that we are an obese country. Sure, many folks are fine. But many more are not—especially the kids.
So, while Bill Clinton looks like crap, his eating habits have gotten a lot better than most of us.
He started eating vegetables and stopped eating .....
Probably because there’s not much ..... available to the old pervert.
It would be funny if THE WALKING DEAD showed a “walker” that looks like Bill.
That is not true, macrobiotic practitioners look think. vegans are plump to middling. Gained twenty pounds as a vegan.
He has some type of cognitive issue going on. The last time we saw him on TV he was clapping like someone with some type of disability. Then he looked all confused and Hillary led him off the stage by putting an arm around his waste. My wife is a retired nurse who specialized in Alzheimer’s care; she saw the way he was being led and said immediately that he looked like he was suffering from dementia. I thought maybe he had a stroke, but she pointed out that he didn’t seem to have any facial droop or problems with just one side of his body.
Billy goat vegan diet for randy Bill!
How nice for him.
I knew he was looking sick.
Bill Clinton died in 1996. This is his double.
Hey BJ Bill, go grap a double double with a lot of bacon, you’ll love it.....
He’s now a bonafide ‘soy boy’? What have the phytoestrogens done to his notorious sex drive?
Then by all means, have a nice greasy burger on me, pal.
Is this satire? Bill Clinton looks to be in very poor health. I guess if he ate a regular diet he would even look worse?
Not true. Bill Clinton looks like crap because he has an unhealthy diet (granted, not as unhealthy as some, but not healthy, either), and because he is clearly very unhealthy, if not quite diseased. He may have hit his “target weight”, but that “target” is too low. Healthy people (especially men) with a healthy amount of musculature are going to be technically obese, because the people setting “targets” are incorrect.
Steak, and meat products in general, are not the cause of obesity. Rather, they are the cure for obesity, and for many other health ailments, as well. High volumes of sugar, or simple carbs, processed foods, unnatural oils, heavily processed “meat” products — these are the causes of poor health and, in some cases, obesity. Not meat.
