“It's turning a ship around before it hits the iceberg, but I think we're beginning to turn it around.”

—BILL CLINTON, on his efforts with the American Heart Association to help 12,000 American schools promote exercise and healthy eating, so that today's children will not suffer the same heart problems he has. Clinton spoke recently with CNN's Sanjay Gupta about his own healthy diet — the famously hamburger-loving former president has gone vegan and no longer eats meat, dairy or eggs and consumes almost no oil. He credits his dietary overhaul for helping reverse the heart and blood vessel damage he suffered as a result of heart disease. Clinton had quadruple bypass surgery in 2004. [via CNN]
