The ever so sophisticated Meryl Streep is on the cover of Ladies’ Home Journal along with her co-star Amy Adams to promote their summer movie that is sure to be a hit, Julie & Julia.  Streep stars in the role as Julia Childs, the famous uber-chef who changed the culinary landscape of the US when her cooking show, The French Chef, hit the airwaves back in 1963.  The real Julia Childs was a chef and of course an avid eater so even though she wasn’t fat nor obese by any stretch of the imagination she was still heavier than the modern day actresses such as Meryl Streep.  60-year-old Streep told Ladies’ Home Journal she had to gain 15 pounds for the role and she is still struggling to lose it now that they are done filming.  She said,

“I gained 15 pounds, I’m still trying to lose it…..It was worth it.”

“My food demons are Chinese food, sugar, butter. If I’m at the movies, usually I eat popcorn without butter, but I’d say, ‘I’m at the movies, so who cares?’ And toast with butter. There was a lot of butter going on.”
