Cindy Crawford’s husband Rande Gerber was so hungry after the birth of the couple’s son he almost ate his wife’s placenta by mistake. Crawford delivered baby Presley at home in 1999 and her midwife placed the afterbirth in the family refrigerator for safekeeping – so the supermodel could have a spiritual planting ceremony upon her recovery.

The bar owner and entrepreneur Gerber mistook the labeling on the Tupperware dish and almost ate the placenta. Crawford recalls, “My son was 10 days late so I had someone prepared to cook for us right when I had the baby, but she’d been cooking for us a week already. She’d been labeling ‘Cindy’s lunch’, ‘Rande’s lunch’, ‘Cindy’s dinner’… so, after I had the baby, Rande was hungry… and he goes out to the refrigerator and he sees the Tupperware that says ‘afterbirth’ on it and he thinks, ‘Oh, this is what I’m supposed to eat after birth.’

“He didn’t eat it, but he opened the Tupperware and there’s a big placenta, which looks like a big piece of liver, laying in there and I hear the shriek from the kitchen. I put it in a Ziploc (bag) and put it in the freezer, where it stayed until I finally got around to burying it.”

OOOOOHHHH, that’s nasty.
