Bill Clinton following a near-vegan diet

Question

Just saw this video of Bill Clinton discussing his switch to an (almost) entirely plant-based diet. Sure it's not perfect, but I think it's great to see someone so influential discussing the benefits of a veggie diet. If I remember correctly, wasn't he a big fan of McDonald's back in the day?

Some quite good news is coming from the Clintons these days. I remember this Hilary quote from 2008 - http://www.chow.com/stories/10894 - telling how she would munch on pretty much anything which was dead. "I like nearly everything. I don't like, you know, things that are still alive." - Hilary Clinton . . . A related historic HC thread - http://www.happycow.net/forum/vegetarian/view_topic.php?id=130

Yep it's true! :D apparently he is full vegan, i saw it on peta2.com 
Bare in mind he is only doing it to lose weight though and become more healthier...but still it's better than nothing :D 
I don't really care about him tbf though i'm english lol he's nothing to do with me...but it's nice that such a powerful man is vegan though :D
