I donโt know why so many people are obsessed with what celebrities eat.
A recent entertainment story pointed out that Gwyneth Paltrow had started to eat bread and pasta again. The poster woman for vainglorious health trends, and founder of the lifestyle brand Goop, is now less known for her acting and more for what she puts in her mouth. (And for promoting dubious wellness items such as body stickers that relieve anxiety, coffee enemas and the notorious jade vaginal egg, of course.)
Paltrowโs announcement that she no longer follows a strict Paleo diet and now enjoys sourdough bread, pasta and cheese was significant enough news that many legacy media outlets shared this titbit next to stories about Donald Trump and the wars in Gaza and Ukraine.
For some reason, many people assume celebrities, being rich and powerful people, have access to all kinds of expert information and advice that we normal folks donโt. From healthcare to diet, they are seen as getting all the inside scoop from all the top people.
