At 66 years old, Bill Clinton has never looked healthier, which many attribute to his wholesome plant-based diet. After the former president spoke at the Democratic National Convention last Wednesday, viewers were full of compliments on Clinton’s appearance. Actress Olivia Wilde tweeted that she considered Clinton a “#veganfox,” while Anderson Cooper called Clinton’s appearance “a good testament to a vegan diet,” and admitted feeling inspired to omit animal products from his diet. While Clinton is clearly reaping the benefits of a largely plant-based diet, the former president concedes that he eats fish sparingly. The dairy-free pescetarian may not be totally vegan, but his promotion of a plant-based diet appears to be motivating people nationwide to reduce their consumption of animals and animal by-products.
