Daniel Bryan gave an interview to CT.com on his birthday earlier this week. He had a hotel room full of vegan cupcakes but those aren’t the only treats he likes to consume. Bryan has a green thumb and a garden at the home he owns in Washigton state. If only he could live there sometime and actually get to plant what he eats.

Fruits, vegetables, stuff like that,” Bryan said. “I like growing stuff I can eat. To me, that’s a big thing. I own a house in Washington state and I have raspberries, I have a big apple tree, I have strawberries. I don’t get to plant stuff there because I’m never there. I really enjoy that sort of thing.”

Mike Zygomanis has just been called the “unofficial nutritionist to his fast-food-eating teammates” by the National Post.

The Toronto Marlies’ ice hockey centre started phasing animal products out of his diet five years ago, beginning with red meat, then moving on with other meats and dairy products.

He might be a rarity in the world of ice hockey, but Zygomanis has plenty of rebuttals when faced with a snicker from a sports enthusiasts on why he packs tofu and not turkey sandwiches.

“It’s a stigma, I guess, when you’re a vegan and guys kind of label you,” Zigomanis said. “Hockey’s a big, macho sport. And when people think of vegans … what do you think of when you think of vegans? You tell me.”

“The whole idea is baby steps. Try one dish a week. If it’s a big hit, throw it in the rotation, and then do another dish on Monday so then Monday is meatless, but Thursday is red beans and rice. What I love hearing is “My husband is a card-carrying carnivore, but I made him this dish from your book and he loved it so much he took leftovers to work.” When I hear that a dish is going to become someone’s staple, that’s just the coolest thing.”

—Roberto Martin, author of Vegan Cooking for Carnivores and personal chef to Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi.

Michelle Obama was a guest on the Late Show with David Letterman where she had the honor of counting down the evening’s top 10 list.

This list revolved around gardening to coincide with the publication of the First Lady’s book on her gardening experiences at the White House and gave some pretty useful facts for those with green thumbs.

For example, did you know that, according to #9 on Letterman’s list, when you plant avocados, tomatoes, onions and cilantro together, you grow a guacamole tree?
