Cruise to eat nutritious placenta
This is nuts.
Hollywood actor and Scientologist Tom Cruise is planning to eat Katie Holmes' placenta. It is the latest in a series of strange revelations by the 43-year-old 'Mission: Impossible' star about the child he is expecting with fiancée Katie Holmes. ... http://www.rte.ie/arts/2006/0418/cruiset.html

yum
yum yum. Man, and I thought the Chinese ate some pretty weird stuff... I'd heard that people ate placentas before, but I didn't believe it. Wow. Just wow. EDIT: Cruise told GQ magazine: "I'm gonna eat the placenta. I thought that would be good. Very nutritious. I'm gonna eat the cord and the placenta right there." RIGHT THERE? As in, raw? As in, right out of her? That totally takes it from "wow" to *vomit*. |

Back in the 70s Ms. magazine regularly published articles about this nonsense. This is not new crazy shit. This is repackaged old crazy shit.
The article I recall recommended sauteing.

The hippies North of here do that kinda stuff. Most of them are more than just a little strange. Mr. Cruise has really done something remarkable since he didn't even need drugs to get this fucking crazy.

It would be the lack of appropriately prescribed drugs that makes him this fucking crazy.

'tis very icky.
Friends of mine are a bit hippy-ish and they have planted the placenta's from both their pregnancies in big pots with plants that have significant meaning...no, no, I dont think they are those kinda pot plants. |

Cruise was joking. But it is a sign of his insanity that people are willing to believe it with no problem.

Somewhere I have a picture of the placenta from our eldest's birth. The instructor at our birthing classes told us that it was interesting and Mrs. Dar wanted the chance to see what it looks like. [It looks like liver] Mrs. Dar was rather busy at the time they were about to cart it off so she asked me to snap a picture.
That pic was a sure fire conversation starter when we were showing off the baby pictures.

My 8th grade science teacher claimed he ate the placentas from both his children's births. This makes absolutely no sense to me. I've also heard of women drying theirs, grinding it into a powder, and taking it in capsule form to treat PPD. This makes only slightly more sense to me. I guess if anyone is gonna eat it, it should be the mom, but I've never been that hungry... and I can't see how eating my own internal organs would cheer me up.

Cannibalism is cannibalism. Even in Hollywood.
