no.
Broccoli and cauliflower are both cultivars of the species Brassica oleracea. Yes, they are genetically very similar.

To help with gout you want to eat foods low in purines, which cause elevated uric acid levels, which is the main cause of gout. But this is counter-intuitive because many high purine foods are shown to help with gout, like meats and oatmeal. Yogurt has been shown that when integrated into a healthy diet can help lower uric acid levels. But, and this is a big but, it really depends on the type of yogurt because most are high in added sugar which is no good. I suggest plain greek yogurt like Fage, or Chobaini.

No it's very bad for them but they can eat romaine lettuce.
More Info:
Wild rabbits do eat lettuce when they come across it but it isn't a major part of their diet. Pet rabbits can eat some kinds of lettuces sometimes.
Light and white-coloured lettuces (like iceberg) are bad for rabbits because they're high in lactucarium, which can cause diarrhoea, and they're very low in nutritional value.
Dark coloured lettuces - like romaine, chicory (escarole, endive) - have less lactucarium, and they're much healthier. Lettuce can be included in the rotation of "salad greens," but not every day or anything. If your rabbit gets diarrhoea, you should cut back or eliminate lettuce from the diet.

How can you tell if broccoli is fresh?
Fresh broccoli has dark green heads (florets) with very tightly-packed buds. Sometimes the color can even have a deep bluish tint. This is good. The stalks should be very firm, not wilted. Broccoli that has started to "go south" has areas of yellow in the florets. This is the broccoli starting to bloom and it will not taste as fresh. Avoid broccoli that has yellow flowers, brown spots, looks or feels wilted or rubbery, or has any other discolorations. Note: I once bought a bunch of broccoli and found hundreds of tiny (*live*) gray bugs on it. They were some type of pest that gets on broccoli. In all my years shopping I have only seen that once, but it does emphasize that you should carefully inspect the broccoli prior to putting it in your shopping cart! Yikes!
