E! online is reporting that Cameron Diaz is writing a novel for teen girls about nutrition and body image. This is a project that Diaz has been thinking about for quite sometime, according to the article.
“She wants to stop their fixation on being thin, and for teenage girls to understand that being healthy is more important,” a publishing source told E! News. “She wants to use her celebrity to make a difference. She knows she is a role model to girls and she really wants to use that position to do good.
“This book is not about weight, it’s about making the right choices.”
The article goes on to state that Diaz is not only lending her name to the book but she is also planning to tour high schools around the country to discuss nutrition. Currently Diaz is working with a lit agent to sell the book.
