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.

Chace Crawford plays a butcher named Cole in a film about an uptight, conservative lawyer Diane (Catherine Keener) who pays a visit to her hippie mother (Jane Fonda) she hasn’t seen in two decades.

Diane has a daughter Zoe (Elizabeth Olsen) who apparently takes after grandma, as she’s vegetarian, but still falls for Cole.

Unfortunately vegetarian ladies, although Crawford doesn’t butcher in real life, you’d have to be a Zoe to fall for him because he does eat meat. But the film did make him explore the idea of where it comes from.

Morgan Freeman is gearing up for the third season of Through The Wormhole, a series on Science that explores the many relationships between science, philosophy, mankind and the universe.

Freeman narrates each episode and tonight he’ll guide viewers through the question of whether a superior race exists.

Some say humans are so intelligent because their ancestors ate meat, which provided nutrients essential for brain development. This theory will be covered, as Freeman explained.

“We discuss the idea of a superior race coming here,” he said in an interview with The Wrap. “Professor Michio Kaku has an interesting discussion on it. Intelligence apparently requires an enormous amount of protein. Which is why we eat meat. Instead of being vegetarians. We have this enormous brain capacity.”

But when asked if meat eaters were still intellectually superior, Freeman was hesitant.

Kim Barnouin, co-author of the highly popular and best-selling Skinny Bitch vegan diet book series, has signed a deal with Karen Kosztolnyik at Simon & Schuster’s Gallery imprint to write a novel with a similar title and vegan theme.

Skinny Bitch in Love is about a vegan chef who loses her job and her significant other simultaneously. Things get interesting and possibly steamier than a wok of tofu and veggies when she launches her own cooking school and falls in love with a meat-eating man.

Besides the Skinny Bitch series she co-wrote with Rory Freedman, Barnouin has published another book solo, Skinny Bitch: Ultimate Everyday Cookbook.
