Why Gwyneth Is Using Food Stamps – ARTICLE

From $995 cashmere blankets to food stamps?

GOOP mastermind Gwyneth Paltrow is drastically changing her lifestyle for one week, living off of food stamps for the #FoodBankNYCChallenge.

That means the actress was only able to spend $29 for seven days' worth of food.

Gwynnie posted a photo of her groceries on Twitter, including corn tortillas, eggs, an ear of corn, beans, onion, green onions, tomato, lettuce, kale, cilantro, a sweet potato, green peas, a garlic clove, an avocado and seven limes.

"We're walking in their shoes to see how far we get," she added in another Tweet.

The Oscar winner accepted the Food Bank challenge from celebrity chef Mario Batali.
