Bill Clinton's Life As A Vegan

Bill Clinton became renowned on the campaign trail for his ability to snarf up burgers and fries. Heart bypass surgery convinced him to cut back on the grease. In the past year, Clinton's gone even further: He's gone vegan.

Shots would have pegged the 42nd president as the guy least likely to Go Tofu. But in an interview with CNN's Sanjay Gupta, the former president talks about his decision to give up meat, dairy and eggs in an effort to reduce the risk posed by a family history of heart disease. Clinton says he's dropped more than 20 pounds and is healthier than ever.
