Gwyneth Paltrow reaps blame for participating in Food Challenge
Gosh, slowly we would like to think she understood. But no! Gwyneth Paltrow has again picked Häme for her "snobby" participation in a food challenge. With the so-called Food Bank Challenge, star chef Mario Batali wants to draw attention to the difficult nutritional situation of more than 46 million people in the USA. To buy their weekly groceries, they rely on food stamps worth a total of 27 euros.
Is it possible to eat healthily from 27 Euro per week? Batali nominated the celebrities Sting, Deborah Harry and his good friend for this assignment - distributed under the hashtag #FoodBankNYCChallenge Gwyneth Paltrow, They could either at the Challenge participate or donate.

? Gwyneth Paltrow (@GwynethPaltrow) April 9, 2015On Twitter she posted her purchase over the 27 euros with the words "You get that for $ 29 in the supermarket, of which families who rely on food stamps to live for a week."
The picture shows lots of greens, eggs, limes, garlic, a tomato, an onion, beans, rice and tortillas. An attempt to transfer the preferred vegan nutritional style to others? Hard to imagine that people who have very little money for food would feed so.
Critics will not wait long
To put oneself in the food situation of the people - that's what Mario Batali was about when he called the Challenge called into life. Accordingly, it hailed critical responses to the Twitter post.
Gwyneth Paltrow is doing all the noble doing the food stamp challenge. When most women on food stamps are so trying to feed a family

The consensus: People who have to feed themselves and their families via food stamps often work physically and can not pay close attention to their diet. You need calories or energy to do the daily workload. Paltrow's purchase, however, would equal a calorie intake of less than 1,000 calories per day for an adult human.
No wonder then that the Hollywood actress and operator of the site "Goop.com" has to be described as a "wealthy and outspoken health apostle".
