MANILA: In a recent article published in Time magazine, former US President Bill Clinton reminisces about his childhood in Arkansas and the meals served at his uncle’s home that included “a ham or a roast, corn bread, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, peas, lima beans, fruit pies and bottomless flagons of iced tea”.
Good food and the good life? Not quite. Clinton says those foods contributed to his problem with obesity that led to a close brush with death in 2004, when he had to undergo a quadruple bypass operation.
