Gwyenth Paltrow is pretending she's a pleb for a week in order to help the world -- oh how quaint! The GOOP-tastic actress is taking the silver spoon out of her mouth for seven whole days and replacing her high-priced diet with food stamps. She's really a Mother Teresa to us all!

How will the woman who's famous for her restrictive diets, her luxurious tastes and her inability to fathom that there are poor people be able survive on a mere $29 a week for food? WE DON'T KNOW!

Instead of a vegan-friendly, macrobiotic diet, Gwyneth is changing it up by participating in the #FoodBankNYCChallenge. The mother of two was challenged by friend Mario Batali to eat on a SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) budget of $29 a week - and it seems as though she's accepting the celeb chef's dare.

In the challenge the participants are allowed to use coupons, but not any food that they already had in their homes. The challenge is an attempt to raise awareness in an attempt to keep congress from slashing food benefits.

The actress' haul seems pretty healthy if you ask us -- but we aren't really sure if six limes and some cilantro are really necessities. How about another bag of rice, fancy lady?

Don't worry you guys -- Gwynnie still gets to sleep in her mansion and rest her head on a 10,000 thread-count pillowcases woven by blind, vegan albinos.
