Vegetarian Star

In celebration of him going vegan, former president of the United States, Bill Clinton, will get his own set of “happy cows” and chickens dancing for him.

ABS-CBN News reports the event will occur when Clinton visits the Philippines capital on Wednesday to deliver a speech.

“The dancing “cow” and “chicken” will wait outside the Manila Hotel on November 10, where Clinton will deliver a keynote speech. They will hold signs that read “Be Like Bill: Grill Veggies, Not Meat” and “Chicks Love Slim Vegan Bill!,” recognizing the former US President’s efforts to stay healthy for his future grandchildren.”

Will Bill join the characters and show off his new vegan athletic prowess by doing the funky no-slaughter chicken?

Yes, Mike Tyson, a man who once chewed on human ear, is now vegan.”

The midterm elections are over, but one former politician will be asking for your vote soon, as PETA holds its Sexiest Vegetarians contest for 2011.

Insiders reveal former President of the United States, Bill Clinton, is definitely a candidate.

“Clinton will surely be a popular nominee in next year’s contest,” said PETA’s Jaime Zalac, according to U.S. News and World Report.

On the advice of two famous physicians and authors, Dr. Dean Ornish and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Clinton turned to a plant-based diet in hopes it may repair some of the damage to his cardio system he’s sustained over the years after learning of a study that showed most individuals who stopped eating animal products were able to reverse signs of heart disease.

Hillary Clinton celebrated her 63nd birthday with Bill on Tuesday by dining at D.C.’s Peacock Cafe in Georgetown.

Restaurants have been cashing in on promoting the former president of the United States has dined at their establishment while patrons follow Bill’s lead when ordering from the menu. Thank goodness a horde of fans will forgo meat entrees at Peacock, as Bill had the veggie burger with quinoa salad and spinach, taking a bite from Hillary’s fries now and then.

Besides the veggie burger, Peacock Cafe boasts veggie friendly dishes of Vegetarian Nachos with vegetarian chili, baked ravioli, a selection of salads and smoothies and “Bill Clinton Ate Here” bragging rights.

You’ve heard it from Bill Clinton himself first. Now, the doctors behind his motivation for following almost a completely vegan diet are talking to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on how more people should adopt the plan that can prevent and reverse heart disease.

Dr. Dean Ornish has been Clinton’s physician consultant since 1993 and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn is the author of Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease and the father of the Texas firefighter Rip Esselstyn who authored The Engine 2 Diet and convinced his fellow firemen at the station to eat veg to improve their health.

Dr. Esselstyn says, “When you do what President Clinton has done, when you completely try to remove any foods that are going to injure your vessel, the body has this remarkable capacity to begin to heal itself. And I’m afraid that as a medical profession we perhaps have fallen down and really emphasized too much the drugs and the procedures and the operations which really treat the symptoms. They do not treat the causes of these illnesses.”

The causes of these illnesses, Esselstyn insists, in continuing to eat “anything with a mother, anything with face.”

Bill Clinton doesn’t do dairy, but he enjoys drinking almond milk. This and other details were revealed to Wolf Blitzer on CNN as Clinton explained how he’s participating in a study to determine if individuals can reverse their heart disease damage by eating vegan. A little bonus for Bill is that his body is looking as sleek as it did in his high school yearbook.

“I live on beans, legumes, vegetables, fruit,” Clinton said. “I drink a protein supplement every morning. No dairy. I drink almond milk mixed in with fruit and a protein powder. So I get the protein for the day when I start the day out. And it changed my whole metabolism and I lost 24 pounds. I got back to basically what I weighed in high school.”

Bill isn’t quite a vegan, as he still eats fish occasionally.

Wouldn’t it be fantastic if one of the most popular former presidents of the United States was a spokesperson for the vegetarian and vegan diet? Well, he practically is.

As reported earlier, Bill Clinton has been sticking to a mainly vegetarian diet (he says once in awhile he’ll eat fish, but not very often) since discovering it worked so well for his weight loss before Chelsea’s wedding. In an interview for Yahoo News and the Huffington Post, Clinton brings up a study he read that showed people who followed a vegan diet and put no added cholesterol into their bodies from animal products had some pretty good health outcomes.

“Since 1986, several hundred people who have tried essentially a plant based diet–not ingesting cholesterol from any source–have seen their bodies start to heal themselves,” Bill said.

Bill Clinton is keeping a vegetarian vow after embracing the diet to lose a few pounds for daughter Chelsea’s wedding.

Page Six reports that the former president of the United States was spotted eating a veggie burger at Babette’s in East Hampton, New York. And let’s hear it for Hillary, who chose the falafel instead of meat as well.

“He was sitting in a corner banquette, eating a veggie burger and a mountain of vegetables. He was with Hillary, who had a falafel plate, and her mother, Dorothy Rodham, who ate French toast. Hillary kept her sunglasses on throughout the meal, and a security guard stood outside the bathroom near their table.”
