Matthew McConaughey is taking a page from the aboriginal tribes of Australia and planting his newborn son’s placenta in an orchard. Yummy! He told CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta

“It’s going to be in the orchards and it’s going to bear some wonderful fruit. When I was in Australia, they had a placenta tree that was on the river… and all the placentas of whatever aboriginal tribe that was, all the placentas went under that one tree and it was this huge behemoth of just health and strength.

This tree was just growing taller and stronger above the rest of Mother Nature around it. It was gorgeous.”

Well, who doesn’t love the smell of freshly-tilled placenta decomposing in the heat of a August afternoon? I know I do. I’ve just recently taken to menstruating on my backyard compost heap myself. The tough part is going to be keeping Tom Cruise from sneaking in with a pint of barely water for a little ephemeral organ late night snack. I hear Scientologists can smell a placenta from a distance of fifty paces!
