Bill Clinton was talking to Piers Morgan on the requirements for presidential candidacy when he  remarked that he could be the president of France for several reasons.

“There are only two countries I’m eligible to run for the leadership position is if I move to Ireland and buy a house, I can — I can run for president of Ireland, because of my Irish heritage.

“And because I was born in Arkansas, which is part of the Louisiana Purchase, any person anywhere in the world that was born in a place that ever was part of the French empire, if you move to — if you live in France for six months and speak French, you can run for president.”

French journalist Layla Demay has a different view of Clinton running France. In an article at the Huffington Post, Demay wrote she doubts anyone who doesn’t eat meat and dairy to ever hold such as position.

Olivia Wilde has a thing for older men.

Okay, not all older men.

They must be sexy. They must be former presidents of the United States. And they must follow a vegan diet.

So most geezers need not apply.

This fall, school children across the country will have access to more fresh fruits and vegetables, more whole grains and more vegetarian options as part of the revamp of the USDA Nutritional Guidelines for School Lunches. The new standards are part of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act signed into law by President Obama.

In addition, an initiative called a “friendlier food environment” will hopefully make things a lot easier for vegetarian school children, allowing them to access plant-based items like tofu and legumes, according to Agriculture Under Secretary for Food Kevin Concannon.

Candy Crowley is set to be the first female moderator of a presidential debate in 20 years.

The CNN State of the Union television show host is a conservative who’s been covering campaigns for years, including George H.W. Bush’s.

Crowley is a vegetarian who made the switch while on the campaign trail covering for the former president.

“I was on the campaign trail covering George H.W. Bush and grabbed a bite to eat at a little restaurant down South,” Crowley told Rachael Ray. “I ordered venison, but there was just something about how the meat looked. That was the last piece I ever put in my mouth. I’ve been vegetarian ever since.”
