9 Instances of Super Weird Health and Social Advice from Gwyneth Paltrow and Goop

2. The Food Stamp Debacle

In April of 2015, Gwyneth Paltrow decided to do her part for social justice and show just how unacceptable it is for people living on food stamps to have only $29 a week to shop. So, she headed to her local poor person grocery store and proceeded to show the world just how much 30 bucks could buy. But, since Gwynnie has no concept of what it’s like to feed a family on nothing, she bought seven limes. And zero canned goods. And no protein. This isn’t a shopping list, it’s a bad guacamole recipe.
