“I don’t eat for pleasure” – Jada shares her rather worrying and joyless views on food

“I don’t eat for pleasure” â€" Jada shares her rather worrying and joyless views on food

Food is meant to be enjoyed, isn’t it? Of course we need to eat to survive but hell, if we can have some fun while surviving, bring it on we say (that’s basically an excuse to glug a glass of wine while munching on some cheese and biscuits tonight all sorted right there). 

However if your name is Jada Pinkett Smith (and we’re pretty sure there’s only one of them in the world) then that is not the case, AT ALL.

Jada eats for nourishment and nothing else.

Do not feed this woman - she will not enjoy it

 

“I don’t eat for pleasure,” she’s just told Essence magazine, we’d imagine with a very straight face and a pursed mouth.

Apparently this is largely down to her gran, who was “the only West Indian grandmother that could not cook.

“She was an awful cook,” Jada continued. “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.”

The actress, who is married to Will Smith and has two children with him, Willow and Jaden, who have also both followed their parents into acting, says her lifestyle means she has to be very careful with her diet.

“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.”

Great, let’s just hope Jada doesn’t die of boredom first. Get that woman some chocolate cake, and quick.

Has Megan been eating a little more of late, or is her belly bump the cause of something a lot more exciting?

Katy Perry and Cheryl Cole have been eating each other's pretty faces of late...
