Kanye West for President?
And all the other dude news you need to know today.

Morning, dudes. Here's the best in guy stuff to start your week off right:

Putin' on the Heavy Plates: Russian President Vladmir Putin and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev spent their Sunday morning doing some heavy lifting, grilling up slabs of meat for breakfast, and generally bro-ing out like, uh, all Russian heads of state seem to do. (Putin's exercise of choice: Standing cable flyes.) [NBC News]

"Addicted to Coca-Cola": A 27-year-old British woman who reportedly drank 4 liters of Coca-Cola every day—worth roughly a pound of sugar by our calculations—says she lost 112 pounds after dropping the sweet stuff, according to British weird-news agency Caters News. [New York Post]

Kanye for President?: After receiving the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the MTV VMAs—from none other than Taylor Swift!—Kanye West launched into a rambling speech in which he managed to insult Justin Timberlake, utter the phrase "listen to the kids, bro," and then declare he's running for president in 2020.

Welcome Back, Michael Vick: However you feel about him, there's no denying that Vick returned to action for the Steelers in style: His first toss was a 63-yard touchdown pass. [NFL]

Super Superfood: Agricultural giant Monsanto says it has created a non-GMO broccoli variety, called Beneforté, which the company says has more than twice the amount of the nutrient glucoraphanin compared to regular broccoli. The company's next step? Global vegetable domination. [Quartz]
