I've spent a day eating like every living US president. The best diets have surprised me.

• I recreated over 150 recipes from politicians before I started spending a day eating just like them.
• The White House diets of the six living US presidents are wildly different and sometimes shocking.
• George W. Bush had my favorite daily eating habits, while Donald Trump had my least favorite.

Politicians, just like the rest of us, have to eat.

Occasionally, politicians release their own recipes carefully crafted to fit their brand and background.
