Gwyneth Paltrow is doing a "challenge" where she has to survive on $29 worth of food for a week. Her grocery list annoyed a lot of people for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that it only works out to 936 calories a day, less than half of what most normal people have to eat. Jsgoddess is lecturing us on how very reasonable Gwyneth's choices are, because somehow jsgoddess missed the memo that the food was supposed to last for a week. And she bitched at us for it.

* jsgoddess isn't actually doing this. I'm just trying to come up with and excuse for her.

ETA: Oh great, she's continuing to lecture us without admitting that she was talking out of her ass before.

So, as an avid Gwyneth Paltrow hater, I have to say, I think 936 calories a day is not much of a stretch for her from a calorie standpoint. She's very thin, and I'm not sure she actually does much of anything other than stand around being annoying. Yes, yes, she does yoga, but it's possible to do that and burn almost no calories at all (ok, it's a crappy way to do it, but I can't imagine the child pose takes a lot of energy).

So, with that out of the way, I didn't think jsgoddess was all that unreasonable - i.e. the diet seems fine for Gwyneth Paltrow and absolutely nobody else. But then you sort of lost your shit and she kind of doubled down on the 'This is tots fine for everyone! Just not for a week!' nonsense and then you doubled down on the rage and honestly both of you come across as a bit unhinged.

That being said, you are my favourite bean, so whatever.
