Prior to yesterday, actor Heidi Montag was best known for being on the MTV reality TV series The Hills, where she began dating fellow cast member Spencer Pratt. As of March 10th, she is now known as the "raw meat lady" to many online.

Yesterday, People Magazine published paparazzi photos of Montag carrying around a Ziploc bag of raw meat (a bison heart) and gnashing a hefty piece off with her teeth. This is all apparently being done in an effort to solve fertility issues she's having while trying to conceive a child with Pratt.

"I love trying new things! I've always been very interested in various types of diets," she told People.

"When you think about where the most nutrients are that are bioavailable to humans without toxins, organs are very nutritious parts of animals. Culturally organs are a critical part. Eating raw liver is going to preserve as many nutrients as possible… It's a great source of nutrients! I have felt incredible on this diet. A lot more energy, clarity, increased libido, and overall improvement on chronic pain I have had. Also now I've been taking the supplements called 'Her Package' from Heart and Soil that has improved my menstrual cycle."

Montag did not explain to People how she thought eating raw meat would improve her chances of conceiving a child, saying only "I have been trying to get pregnant for over a year and a half, I'm willing to try different things."

As the consumption of raw meat is an evergreen source of internet disgust, curiosity and concern, many were unsurprisingly disturbed by this news and posted their reactions on Twitter and other social media platforms into today.

Raw meat can contain lots of harmful bacteria, including Salmonella, Listeria, Campylobacter and E. coli, that are completely destroyed when the meat is cooked. Medical experts also advise that it is probably best to assume that consuming raw meat is not a good idea when looking to conceive a child.
