46. I'm sure I know why Bill Clinton made his radical diet change

Same reason I did--he had a near death emergency that caught his arterial blockage before a major heart attack occurred. After they saved my sorry ass, they called my wife in and told her "the new rules" of my diet, and they have been followed.

Clinton's condition was more drastic than mine. Where I was treated with stents and told how lucky I was (the ambulance was waiting outside to take me to the surgery building for a bypass if the stents failed), Clinton got a quintuple bypass without passing GO or collecting two hundred french fries. He took their advice very seriously. Last time I saw him, he looked almost malnourished, but he's probably a lot healthier than I am at this point. I have the distinct disadvantage of being married to a master gourmet chef, and while she tries to cook fat free, it's hard to stop once she puts her magic on the table.
