Actor Tells President Obama He is a Raw Vegan

Declan Joyce, an actor and man about town in Hollywood, is a raw vegan. And, as someone involved in various charities, he had the opportunity to meet Barack Obama at New York City's Waldorf Astoria last September 24, as he told Hippocrates Health Institute's magazine, Healing Our World (HOW). 

According to HOW, Joyce and Obama spoke for five minutes and posed together for photos. HOW included one of them in its Volume 34, Issue 1, which was published in December 2013.

HOW writes:

When the president asked Declan if he was having any ice cream, Declan replied, "No thank you. I'm a raw vegan." Maybe some day soon President Obama will follow former President Bill Clinton's lead and adopt a plant-based diet.
As RawFoodsNewsMagazine.com has written in our online petition, we wish Barack Obama would hire a raw vegan chef to complement the existing chefs in the White House kitchen. A raw chef could delight guests with tasty, fine dining dishes, making great use of the organic produce the First Lady grows in her organic food garden.

Aside from that, we wish we had been a fly on the wall during Declan Joyce's conversation with Obama. We're most curious to know how the President responded to Joyce's saying he is a raw vegan! The only other details we know of that conversation are what John Petkovic has reported about Joyce in The Plain Dealer:
“I’ve been invited to various functions for various reasons,” he says. “I met Barack Obama in Malibu for a function, and he was like, ‘Declan, I like that name – you know, we might be related, because I’m part Irish.’ He was really charming."
