Tom Cruise to eat the placenta

Don't get me wrong, I have much love for the crunchy woman crowd, being fairly crunchy when compared to mainstream myself. Most of my mom friends are crunchier than me, and in general I find the crunchy crowd to be concerned about being socially and environmentally responsible, passionate, and patient and gentle with their kids. It's the looks I get when I mention I'm going to Disneyland (how consumerist!) that bug me. Imagine if they knew I'd be using a stroller while there!

I've never been able to bring myself to eat any internal organs, so I would definitely pass on the placenta. And I must admit, I'm always a little happy to find things that are crunchier than I. Placenta eating and cloth toilet paper will forever be beyond the bounds of my crunchyness.
