Angelina Jolie doesn't eat because she feels guilty about people who are starving in Third World countries.
The once curvaceous actress has been photographed recently looking very thin and her brother, James Haven Voight, has now revealed her attitude to food changed after she travelled to Ethiopia to adopt daughter Zahara, now two.
James told Closer magazine: "Angelina's life changed after she visited Ethiopia. Whenever she's there, there's often no food for her and she goes without.
"She's become used to periods of very little or no food, so she has a much smaller appetite and a different attitude to eating because of it.
"It's hard for her to get back to the US and sit in a very expensive restaurant and order freely. She sees food differently and she feels guilty about what she has and what she eats compared with so many starving people who she wants to help."

She is very definitely someone to be admired - what a refreshiing change from so many self-centered, spend freaks in the entertainment world.
Also - just another 'come-on' headline!!!
Come on! Seriously? She doesn't eat cause she feels bad about what she has and others don't? How about the numerous multi-million dollar homes that she owns? Those are ok, but food isn't?
I agree...come on!!!!whatta lame excuse for the skeleton look,if she feels that bad she can leave all her millon dollar worth stuff and live just like these people,one meal she won't order won't save the world!all publicity,bravo Angie!
I believe her. When you get used to fasting it changes your relationship to food and metabolism pretty quickly. And guilt is not always rational. Just because she's not eating doesn't mean she has to go live in a tent as well.

I guess it would be bad form to show up in Ethiopia with a gut or saddlebags....
