Cruise to consume placenta

Quote:

TOM Cruise yesterday revealed his latest bizarre mission..to eat his new baby's placenta.

Cruise vowed he would tuck in straight after girlfriend Katie Holmes gives birth, saying he thought it would be "very nutritious".

The Mission Impossible star, 43, said: "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."

Ok, I'm totally sick of tabloid shit about these people as it is, but WTF. Why do people do this? Cannibalism?

It is the latest in a series of increasingly strange outbursts from Cruise in the run-up to the birth.

Quote:

The Top Gun star also insisted he "sensed" fiancŽe Katie was pregnant before she told him.

Quote:

The actor, who recently also claimed he has the power to cure drug addicts,

zomg it's Jesus.

Fucked up though. What pleasure could he possibly get from this?

It's fucking weird, but it's not cannibalism. A lot of mammals do this, and a lot of out-there religions swear by the savory taste.

Jumping around on Oprah > this.

And Ghandi drank his own piss. That's all I'm sayin'. Just cause it's done doesn't mean it's not fucking repugnant.

It's sterile and he liked the taste. Nothing wrong there.

It's bad enough chicks put placenta in their hair.

So the mother's supposed to eat it. And then they produce more milk and feel less pain. Awesome, Tom.

I wonder if my mom ate my placenta.

I'll ask.

Technically it's your mom's placenta. You didn't make it--you just rented it.

Some people like to eat shit, too.

I don't think the two are even comparable. Although they both fall into the category of "things I don't eat."

I dunno, dude. The placenta is used to deliver nutrients to the baby, filter out potentially harmful stuff, and remove waste. Eating one sounds like the equivalent of eating the oil filter from your car.

I'm not familiar with the supposed nutritional value of the placenta, or why it would even occur to a rational human being to eat one. Animals sometimes eat theirs, mostly to protect their young by preventing predators from smelling it.

It sounds more like eating a liver or a kidney from your description, actually.

It sounds a lot like eating liver and not really like eating bacteria-filled shit or poisonous motor oil.

Was Spock attacked by a placenta?

Does the human body eject its own liver?

Still, I get you.

It's an organ. People all over the world eat organ meat, though it's not something I enjoy.

The thing to get sick over here isn't that it's placenta, but that it's human.

Backpedal for real. If people had been like, "yeah, go for it Tom, awesome!", you'd see the blood smeared face of Mr. Cruise in the papers today.
