Cameron Diaz, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Drew Barrymore are three friends with a lot in common. They are actresses and authors over 40 with a love for food, and a particular interest in the avocado.
All three women have written books; Diaz and Paltrow’s books are about healthy living, and Barrymore has penned two memoirs.
A favorite breakfast for Diaz’s is scrambled eggs with toast and avocado, and Paltrow’s breakfast items seem to include avocado, smoked wild salmon, and sardines. Barrymore takes it a step further. She says she loves avocados so much that she wants to be buried under an avocado tree, because she spent much of her childhood eating avocados from a tree near her home. Sometimes she ate 10 avocados a day.
