Tom Cruise is a sick placenta eater
I've hated Tom Cruise ever since he dissed Brooke Shields' postpartum depression, stating that mental disorders do not exist and that vitamins would have taken care of it. Pfft, anyone who's ever been around a mentally ill person knows that if it was that simple, they would be able to snap out of it.
I found out here that Tom wants to eat the placenta after the birth. Bleargh. I know that many animals do it because the protein helps the heal, and I know that placenta contains hormones that prevent hemorrhaging, but that's fucking cannibalism we're talking about, not to mention that it's placenta!

Re: Tom Cruise is a sick placenta eater
The whole "silent birth" thing sounds like a load of bollocks too. If we could remember that far back, even subconsciously, we'd be traumatized by having our heads squeezed and the difficulty of taking that first breath. Also, babies can hear while they're in-utero, so why bother keeping the birth itself silent? My mom says that we would jump in her womb if there was a loud noise.

Re: Tom Cruise is a sick placenta eater
oh god I'm going to puke. That is so nasty.
As far as noise in the womb, I knew someone who would sometimes put a radio up to her belly and turn it up and play dance music and her baby would start jumping around in there.

Yeah, one mother in China is reportedly responsible for her baby's deafness b/c she'd blare educational tapes through headphones on her belly.

Re: Tom Cruise is a sick placenta eater
i read in a magazine today that apparently scientologists believe that you can't have sex at all while pregnant as it damages the baby, and that noone is allowed to show any kind of negative emotion around a pregnant woman as some of that negative emotion could transfer to the baby.

Re: Tom Cruise is a sick placenta eater
I'm kinda hoping that Katie gets postpartum depression that vitamins and exercise can't cure. I know it's cruel b/c the poor thing has been seduced by some trend, but it would be hilarious to see Tom trying to babble with his foot in his mouth. Nah, any depression would be covered up by a self-image obcessed Tom until she commits suicide.
I read somewhere that Tom was dyslexic, but Scientology helped him overcoem it. I guess that his disbelief in phychiatric disorders is further denial that they exist b/c he doesn't want to feel disabled in any way.

Re: Tom Cruise is a sick placenta eater
Well, the ironic thing is that one of the biggest advantages of eating the placenta for moms is that it supposedly helps stave off postpartum depression!
Ha ha ha. Tom Cruise - what a maroon!

Re: Tom Cruise is a sick placenta eater
He was always a lunatic. But then his lunacy extended to firing the best publicist money could buy, and without his protective PR straightjacket, he has managed to unleash all sorts of crazy onto the public. The irony that he argues against psychiatry, while basically foaming at the mouth on Oprah, is just too perfect. Fiction can't get it this good.

I thought I'd look up some placenta recipes thinking that it was going to be a difficult find, but lo and behold, it was rather easy.

The lasanga one was my favorite. Bon appetite. :yummy:

Re: Tom Cruise is a sick placenta eater
We had our girls at a birth center with midwives, and they asked if we wanted the placenta. I told the wife we should get it and make cupcakes or something to spring on unsuspecting guests. We ended up saying no, but a friend of ours kept hers. She planted a tree for her daughter and the placenta went in the ground with it.
Tom is a wackadoo, though. Oh yes.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!
Placenta lasagna?!
I don't think I can eat my breakfast.

Re: Tom Cruise is a sick placenta eater
"Placenta Lasagna" is a fun term. I like the way it rolls off the tongue. It sounds like an amusing album title, like something by Zappa.

Sure you can. Just stay away from fava beans and a good Chianti...although I doubt Cruise will....personally, I'm sticking to cereal with fruit this morning after reading this thread!

Re: Tom Cruise is a sick placenta eater
yup, eating the placenta is not as uncommon as you think. It does help fight ppd too. There are several different ways to prepare it, I've heard of the "lasagna" many times. You can also boil it down and turn it into a powder to put into capsules to swallow like a pill..
However I don't think that eating a "cooked" placenta can offer much benefit...when you cook it, you're killing all the "good" stuff in it anyway.
I think it's nasty, but I know many that have done this.
BUT, there is NO reason for a man to eat it! That is just NASTY! He needs to go jump off a cliff or something. I don't even want to see any more of his movies because of his lunacy!

The Daily Show did a report on this when Kilborn was the host.

Maybe he can dry it up, slice it into tiny peices, and eat it in the morning with milk and toast.
Placentas... they arent just for Breakfast anymore.
:D

Re: Tom Cruise is a sick placenta eater
I really think this is going to have a tragic ending. Tom has really flipped out and poor Katie must be brain washed. I hope she doesn't kill herself.

Aaagh! My girfriend had a teacher in high school who did that after she had her child. My question is... HOW do you eat a placenta? I mean... what... just take it out of a refrigerator and fry it up? What.The.Hell. :O
The whole issue about his comments regarding Brooke pissed me off to no end, too. Postpartum depression is a very real condition. In general, i hate how he completely minimized the seriousness of people with clinical issues. I myself have medicine for anxiety, and my gf takes medicine for her depression. Without modern medicine, we'd be screwed.
Holistic and alternative medicines are great, but they can't cure everything. (And Cruise knows about as much about alternative medicine as he does about psychiatry. lol)

Re: Tom Cruise is a sick placenta eater
He's just a fucking whacko. It sounds bad, but I too hope that Katie has to deal with PPD. Then we'll see how Tommy boy handles it when he comes home to find her trying to slit her wrists or something.
I really feel bad for Katie, and have ever since she got with him. All she's doing is living out a childhood fantasy of hers, and he's trying to cure his mid-life crisis by having a young chick and knocking her up.
As for the placenta thing---doesn't surprise me. It's not uncommon, but it does add to Tom's freakishness (like it needs adding to).

Re: Tom Cruise is a sick placenta eater
I just don't understand why HE wants to eat it. Does he have some dreaded disease that he's not speaking of and he's hoping this will cure him? Does he think that eating a placenta will be his fountain of youth?
*sigh*
Crazy people.
I hope Katie can get herself out of this mess. She's involved with one crazy fucker. That doesn't say much for Nicole Kidman who put up with this for 11 years...

Re: Tom Cruise is a sick placenta eater
I'm not that weirded by a mother wanting to eat the placenta, but why would HE? That's just weird- I hope it's just a rumour.

Re: Tom Cruise is a sick placenta eater
I like placenta,it helps with my workouts.
