From Us Weekly:

There’s a reason Jada Pinkett Smith has maintained her flawless bod for more than 20 years: “I don’t eat for pleasure,” she tells Essence.

Pinkett Smith, 40, explains that she “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.”

Though she occasionally treats herself to French fries and pizza, the star of Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted says: “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.”

Her diet secrets aside, the actress and mother-of-three also reveals that she’s planning to star in a movie with Will Smith, 43, her husband since 1997.

“Will is going to [shoot a film] with the boys probably, and he and I are gonna do one,” she tells Essence. “He can’t wait. He was like, ‘You and me, next.’ I was like. . . ‘Let’s do it!”

Pinkett Smith’s latest film, Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted, is in theaters June 8. It features the voice talents of Ben Stiller, 46, Chris Rock, 47, David Schwimmer, 45, Sacha Baron Cohen, 40, Cedric the Entertainer, 48, Jessica Chastain, 35, and Martin Short, 62.

No, I get it. I get what she’s saying. And all joking aside, the world at large would probably be a whole lot healthier if the world at large thought like Jada Pinkett Smith or had a granny that couldn’t cook for shit. But this lady, guys? This lady right here (I mean me, not Jada Pinkett Smith)? She had a granny who could COOK. She had a GRANNY who could COOK. And that granny taught this lady right here that there are certain pleasures of life that can be seen with the eyes, heard with the ears, felt with the hands, and tasted with the mouth. Short of saying that I think Jada Pinkett Smith is missing a few crucial parts of a normal, functioning human being’s psyche, you can guess what my favorite life experience is.

Crazy, crazy lady. Crazy.

  • Hey Sarah, I’ve noticed most of your “articles” consist of making fun of women’s bodies for either being too fat, too skinny, too muscular or too healthy… I’d love to see what you’re body looks like.

    • I’m pretty sure she has a normal body! And she doesn’t claim to be perfect either. I doubt you can see her ribs or that she is overweight. Everyone has an opinion, she just gets paid to voice hers.

  • Good for her that she can eat healthy food w/o the taste bothering her. I try to eat as healthy as I can but some healthy foods don’t even have a taste!

    I don’t get how she can’t eat for pleasure though, food is awesome!
