Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway looks pretty good in a catsuit in the new Batman sequel, The Dark Night Rises.

“I don’t go the soy-meat route; I have a really plant-based diet,” Hathaway told USA Today. “So I wind up cooking at home a lot. Kale is amazing. Spelt [a kind of wheat] pasta is amazing. I can’t do the white-flour stuff. It makes me really ill.”

“When I made that decision it forced me to learn about nutrition, forced me to learn about the things I should be eating. It also exposed to me the corporate farming methods we use in this country and just how unhealthy it is for us as consumers. When you’re relying on corporations to feed you, you have to remember that their bottom line is making money.”
