Eva Longoria: 'You Can Treat Workers with Dignity and Make a Profit'


Eva Longoria was out promoting her new film 'Food Chains' and she had some really thought-provoking things to say about the food industry in America, immigration and the exploitation of laborers.

Her latest film project is about farmworkers in Immokalee, Florida who launch a hunger strike at the headquarters of Publix supermarkets to protest poor wages and working conditions.

The latin icon said that sometimes people confuse immigration reform with legalization and they are two separate things:

Eva Longoria can easily switch back and forth from actress to activist, and even a style icon that young women look up to. When asked what advice she has for young women who aspire to be like her, she said "you have to be comfortable in your own skin."
