Well, almost. Some articles are saying "mostly vegan" and some saying vegetarian with the here and there seafood dish.

Former President Bill Clinton is embracing a vegetarian diet to aid in his battle against cholesterol, high blood pressure and the middle-age bulge. The popular former president has had heart trouble since 2004, but is now following a vegetarian diet with the occasional fish dish and has already lost 20lbs (9.1kg).

In a recent interview with Yahoo! News and the Huffington Post, Clinton explained how he wants to be around for his grandchildren and felt that a vegetarian diet could potentially yield some rather amazing results.

“Since 1986, several hundred people who have tried essentially a plant-based diet — not ingesting any cholesterol from any source — have seen their bodies start to heal themselves; break up the arterial blockage, break up the calcium deposits around the heart,” explained Clinton in the interview. “82% of people who have done this have had the result, so I want to see if I can be one of them."

First Chelsea, then maybe Bill. Hope he sticks with it.
