He did look aged though, didn't he, and Bush looked like he hadn't aged a bit.

He did look ill from what I saw of him on tv today.

After undergoing two separate heart procedures since leaving office a decade ago, former President Bill Clinton changed his diet to slow the progression of heart disease. But when a doctor told him that more “intensive changes” were needed for someone with his family history of heart disease, Mr. Clinton -– the man famous for his love of McDonald’s and junk food -– went vegan, or nearly so. “At Thanksgiving, I had one bite of turkey,” he told CNN’s chief medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta.

“I essentially concluded that I had played Russian roulette,” Clinton said, “because even though I had changed my diet some and cut down on the caloric total of my ingestion and cut back on much of the cholesterol in the food I was eating, I still — without any scientific basis to support what I did — was taking in a lot of extra cholesterol without knowing if my body would produce enough of the enzyme to support it, and clearly it didn’t or I wouldn’t have had that blockage. So that’s when I made a decision to really change.”
The former president now says he consumes no meat, no dairy, no eggs, almost no oil.
“I like the vegetables, the fruits, the beans, the stuff I eat now,” Clinton told Gupta.
