No more cheese? Rodgers cuts dairy from diet

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Cheeseheads' quarterback won't be eating cheddar, provolone or any other kinds of cheese anymore. Believe it, the Green Bay Packers' leader has cut out dairy products from his diet.

A leaner-looking Aaron Rodgers said Thursday that it's part of his long-term nutrition plan to help him play as long as possible. Since his knee surgery in January, he said he has followed "more of a vegan diet with some red meat at times and some chicken." He said he has tried to stick more to fruits and vegetables -- "mostly vegetables," he said.
