Jada Pinkett Smith's Shocking Revelation About Food

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

You’ve seen the slim and gorgeous Jada Pinkett Smith on the red carpet (most recently promoting Madagascar 3 – see pic below), out with husband Will Smith and her children and may wonder how in the world does this woman, at 40, manage to keep her fabulous frame?

“I don’t eat for pleasure,” she tells Essence. What?! According to Jada her West Indian grandmother gets all the credit,

She explains, “had the only West Indian grandmother that could not cook. She was an awful cook, and 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.”

With young children we’re sure it’s hard to maintain a strict diet so Jada does indulge in french fries and pizza every so often but she’s right back when it relates to work,

“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.”

More kudos to you Jada!

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
