Food / TV Good Morning, Breakfast: January Jones' Placenta

Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Tue, Mar 27, 2012 at 9:59 AM

What did you have for breakfast today? Here's how actress January Jones (that's Betty from Mad Men) does it. From People:

Jones’s secret to staying high energy through the grueling shooting schedule? “I have a great doula who makes sure I’m eating well, with vitamins and teas, and with placenta capsulation.”

You read right: Jones is eating her own placenta. “Your placenta gets dehydrated and made into vitamins,” she explains. “It’s something I was very hesitant about, but we’re the only mammals who don’t ingest our own placentas.”

Jones has taken the capsules every day since right after she had her son, and also anytime she feels tired or down. Jones insists, “It’s not witch-crafty or anything! I suggest it to all moms!”

Umm... January? You don't get it. I want "witch-crafty." That's why I put the still-beating heart of a goat in my Froot Loops every morning. (Apparently January is the only witch in the world who doesn't eat throbbing goat hearts.)
