What healthy foods are eaten by celebrities?

Asked by 6rant6 (13700points) October 1st, 2009

Since kids are so easily influenced by celebrities pimping unhealthy products, I’d like to use those same celebrities to promote health.

So I’m looking for actual factual eating habits of the rich and lovely that will make people healthy.

For example, “Miley Cyrus snacks on carrots in front of her big screen”. Or “Payton Manning made this tofu dish when he appeared on Good Morning America”... that kind of stuff.

Recipes would be great, but food favorites are a help. Anything that makes it fashionable to eat well.

You know, “This must be good because someone famous likes it.”

Thanks!

Jennifer Garner: “One healthy snack that I love to make at home is a smoothie with spinach,” Garner tells PEOPLE. “You use a banana, a bunch of mango and a huge handfuls of spinach so it’s green. But it tastes like mango and banana and the kids are really, really into the color. They also don’t taste the spinach at all.” Source

“Country singer LeAnn Rimes loves to nosh on low-fat cheese. Source

Lawrence Olivier is said to have eaten an apple and a bit of pungent blue cheese for lunch each day to maintain his weight. Why? The stronger the flavor of food, the more satisfied he felt. (From here)

The same article claims Julia Roberts loves to add roasted garlic to all sorts of things and to use it in sandwiches in place of mayonnaise, and that Matt Damon loves low fat, low salt homemade marinara sauce.

Then, Alicia Silverstone is a vegan (according to this).

Mariksa Hargitay likes carrots and celery, and 60% of her food is plant-based. Her dream dinner is three vegetables: broccoli, zucchini, and asparagus, either steamed or grilled. (per this article)

Jennifer Love Hewitt eats small, healthy snacks every 90 minutes (here).

And there are a bunch of celebrities and what they eat listed here. However, don’t do what Paris Hilton does. Apparently she lives on McDonald’s and Taco Bell.

umm… get enough celebs, and i can promise that they eat everything…. but what does it matter. Dont follow them and become a media drone. Its ok to want to look like them, and be successful like them… But not to do everything hey do just because they do it.

Now why am I not surprised by the info about Paris Hilton? I am hard pressed to think of a more dimwitted, vapid, and useless piece of rich trash occupying space on this planet.

Unless it’s that equally useless duo collectively known as Speidi or spidey or however they spell it.

Donald Trump may be the most egotistical blowhards around, but at least he and his wife managed to do a decent job raising their kids to excel academically, work hard and become productive sensible members of society who dont do the ridiculous stuff that
makes them tabloid fodder.

What is a Speidi when it’s at home? Never heard of it. Or they, as the case may be.

There is a current fad in which both names of a couple are combined or morphed into one.

The two dimwits to whom I referred are Spencer and Heidi Pratt. This yields the nickname of Speidi ( or Spidey which is closer to it’s actual pronounciation).

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie become Brangelina and so forth. Unlike Speidi who have more money than brains, at least Brangelina is doing something to justify taking up space on the planet by doing something worthwhile with the homes they are building for Katrina victims down in New Orleans.

You are now caught up with a little bit of celebrity news :)

But who are Spencer and Heidi Pratt? Never heard of them, either.

Consider yourself fortunate.

And if you ever find yourself desperate to know more about them, well there’s always Google.

Darwin's avatar

But Google doesn’t say what they do that makes them so notable.

JONESGH's avatar

they were reality tv stars.

Darwin's avatar

A random couple was put on TV? For what reason? What do they do that makes them TV-show-worthy?

JONESGH's avatar

they were on a show called the hills which is a reality show that follows the life of some young adults in LA.
who knows.
they create drama amongst each other that can be amusing but other than that they dont have any skills.

Sounds bizarre to me and bit like someone knocked on a random door and said, “Hey, you guys want to be on a TV show?”
