Mad new craze has actresses mad for purees

We can hardly believe the latest craze in Hollywood being reported today. Apparently the new-fangled way to keep slim is to stick to baby food. According to a feature in the Sunday Express, stars such as Reese Witherspoon and Desperate Housewive's Marcia Cross use jars of baby food as substitutes for adult-sized meals.

It sounds entirely fabricated, but the article quotes Witherspoon as telling a chat show that she's careful to eat at least one proper meal a day.'

There's nothing wrong with anyone eating baby food,' LA-based nutritionist Dr Marty Edwards tells the newspaper. 'It's nutritious and delicious as a snack. But adults require a minimum daily calorific intake, so it would be absolute folly to dine only on these little jars. Substituting them for chips, crisps or burgers as a healthy snack alternative does, however, make a lot of sense.'
