Cruise: I'll eat placenta

[Blue Velvet]

Many years ago I was invited to a placenta-eating party held by some back-to-Mother-Earth-type people... the placenta had been in the freezer since birth and the plan for it was that it would be fried. In butter.

I made my excuses and didn't attend.

I heard later that it was OK, a little chewy but most of it was buried by a tree.

Instantly reminded me of this comic, entitled "I'm Not Entirely Sure He Knows What That Is".

 

[Deepdale]

But this is Tom Cruise we're talking about, its just ****ing gross when he does it.

Re: eating, this is the headline I'd like to see ... Sharks: We'll eat Cruise.

 

[Abstract]

After Tom met Katie, he also fired his sister as his publicist, and hired a completely new publicist who was more experienced and professional.

Can you tell that it's not working?

i started contemplating to watch mi:3, but after this thread. i believe i won't watch it no more.

tom cruise in mission placenta.

This can't be serious, is it? That is just disgusting. Horribly disgusting. Whenever I need help with my diet I know where to come to lose my appetite. And my lunch.

 

[iGary]

I just threw up a little bit™.

(And I can stomach most anything.)

He is weirder than Michael Jackson. This is beyond weird, its sick.

I wonder if someone could kidnap them and deprogram their brains.

 

[Blue Velvet]

...This is beyond weird, its sick.

No, it's very rich in iron and other nutrients. Allegedly.

ok, its not sick, but I'll pass! blech....

 

[Blue Velvet]

Sure? How about a nice piece of placenta paté?

My wife and I were watching the interview he did with Diane Sawyer when he said this, and he was clearly making a joke about some of the things that have been said about him in tabloids (like the Sun, for example).

Mind you, that's a freaky place to go for a joke. But it was pretty clear that he was kidding when he said it.

Looks tasty Blue Velvet, but this looks so much more appetizing...

On a more serious note, the placenta and cord blood can often be donated for use in the treatment of cancer. This sounds like a much more practical use than eating it.

 

[njmac]

Oooh, that's tempting

 

[floriflee]

I think there are better places to get my iron....like the old fashioned Popeye way.... Spinach anyone?

 

[evoluzione]

yeah apparently it's super high in a lot of good nutrients, although cooking it would probably kill those, if you were to eat it, i'd say it'd have to be raw...not nice.

and to all those who think it's really weird, don't forget this is the "Sun" newspaper in England, not exactly reputable...oh, and as someone mentioned, it (placenta) is used in a lot of things, like some hair products, as is oil, and silicon etc, really good stuff that is!

 

[Abstract]

So what if it's super high in nutrients? What does this have to do with eating? There's lots of things that people don't eat because it's not a part of a human's diet, just like bears don't really want to eat a human. It can, but it doesn't.

And wouldn't it be a great practical joke if Tom had a party and replaced the Jell-o/jelly with hardened placenta?

Thanks for making me vomit max. Thanks a lot.

It's weird to a lot of us (including me), but it is more common then you think. Many cultures see the placenta a a very special organ. Some eat it, some use it as an art piece, some do other things with it. There are even entire cook books of placenta recipes.

When it's chilly outside, I use mine as a hand cozy.

That's good to hear.

We don't need another Jacko!

A couple years ago, I heard about bodybuilders making placenta shakes for the protein.

OK, I'll bite. How would a bodybuilder get his hands on a placenta? Besides his wife having a baby, I mean.

You can purchase them. Not human ones, rather animal ones. Lamb placenta is one of the more common ones, if you can call purchasing a placenta common.

Anytime!

I thought it was important for everyone to get a visual on the topic of discussion.

I want the doctor to have a plate, knife and fork ready. After the birth, serve it up hot and steamy, and to Tom and say "Okay dumbass freakazoid, eat up." And it needs to be taped.

You could probably get one from a farm, I'm sure a cow's placenta would be even bigger!
