Matt: After Birth Can Be Tasty Too!

If Barbara Walters were to ask Matt McConaughey what kind of tree he would be, his answer would be -- placenta.

McConaughey tells CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta that he plans to use the placenta from Levi's birth as fertilizer. He plans to plant the placenta in an orchard so it can "Bear some wonderful fruit."

Note to TMZ users -- stay away from the plums.

21. This is more common than most of you think. And to the pp they remove cord blood almost immediately after birth so the placenta is just considered biowaste which some hospitals sell for medical research or to cosmetic companies.
Most people never know.

22. Animals eat the placenta of their young to replenish energy. The placenta is the only organ a body will ever discard once its job is done.

Why is when a human wants to PLANT it, its suddenly gross?

23. I was watching this interview this morning and, thankfully, changed the channel before this placenta revelation. What a weirdo. I wonder how he got the afterbirth from the hospital to his back yard. Styrofoam cooler?

27. I agree with No. 6; using the placenta for stem cells. I have never heard of using it for anything else. I wouldn't take my one month old to a concert. I hope he doesn't lose his hearing when he is older....

28. In many other cultures and countries, where babies are delivered at home or in birthing centers, and childbirh is considered a normal, natural life event rather than a medical emergency waiting to happen, this practice is commonplace.
