Someone needs to introduce Jada Pinkett-Smith the joy of Krispe Kreme donuts. Or cheese on toast. Or a nice healthy goat’s cheese salad…
… Sorry, we got lost thinking about how delicious food is. Not something that Jada evidentially has a problem with. The 40-year-old actress and wife of Will Smith has revealed that she doesn’t enjoy eating and sees food simply as fuel,
“I don't eat for pleasure,” she tells Essence. “[I] had the only West Indian grandmother that could not cook. She was an awful cook, and she taught me that you don't eat for taste, you eat for nourishment. And I have kept that over the years, so I can eat anything that's healthy.”
Anyone else feel a little sad at Jada’s statement that she doesn’t eat for pleasure? Stuffing our gobs with all sorts of delicious food – healthy and not-so healthy – is one of heatworld’s greatest pleasures. You’ll already know this if you follow us on Twitter, we talk about food a lot.
Jada – who also reveals that she’ll occasionally treat herself to French fries and pizza – continues to explain that she eats to keep her body moving as she’s always on the go,
“I eat for my schedule so I have to eat high-protein, lots of greens and healthy carbs so that I don't fall flat on my face.”
Sounds healthy but a little bit boring and restrictive. What do you think about Jada’s attitude towards food? It’s got to be a good way to stay slim, but we enjoy eating far too much.
