Tom Cruise to eat the placenta

Especially if it were deep fried, coated in cinammon sugar, and sold from a cart in front of Haunted Mansion.

I think you really are supposed to eat it raw. The recipes are just to make it more palatable. Most that I've heard of doing it mix some raw in a smoothie or just cut a little piece off and eat it.

Honestly, though I see that it may have some benefits, I think it's all part of the "crunchier than thou" competition that seems to go on amongst moms that are more into natural living. As if there is some ultimate ideal of eating only organic veggies that you've grown in your garden while simultaneously milking your own goat, breastfeeding an eight year old, and eating a placenta. Oh, not to forget, using cloth instead of toilet paper.

Personally, my earthworm composting is failing miserably and I'm all out of placenta smoothies.
