Good for him! I'll be interested to see how he does and if he decides to speak out about his new journey. He has been active different initiatives to help America have affordable and healthy diets, so maybe this will bring plant-based diets more to the forefront.

Hi

I was just re-reading the CNN article about President Clinton going vegan and came accross this quote.

"I'm living on beans, legumes, vegetables and fruit....."

So why is this chap not eating any grains ?? Or did he just forget to mention grains ?? Or did the journalist misquote him ??

Considering whom he gives credit (Campbell, Ornish, Esselstyn), I'm sure he must eat grains! They all recommend it.

Probably just assumed grains - "everyone" eats bread of some form, cereal, that sort of stuff. Tt's the "what do you eat instead of those big old double cheeseburgers, Bill?" that he was probably addressing.
