When she’s not busy getting steam douches, consciously uncoupling, and spending half of her day “simply existing,” Gwyneth Paltrow likes to be a Woman of the People. So this week, she has made the brave decision to live like someone on food stamps for a week.
This means that the gluten-free star, who has declared in the past that she would “rather smoke crack than eat cheese from a tin,” and “would rather die than let my kid eat Cup-a-Soup,” will have to make do with $29 a week for meals.
To put that into goop-perspective, one of Paltrow’s favorite juice cleanses costs $903 for 7 days worth of juices.

Maybe she can use her $4,739 goop-recommended juicer to fashion some tasty meals from that!
Paltrow accepted the challenge from celebrity pal Mario Batali. Batali has also challenged Jimmy Fallon and Sting, so hopefully we have many more pretentious tweets coming in the week ahead! Stay tuned.
