From insisting that breastfeeding should be a law to dissing on sunscreen to saying that childbirth "didn't hurt in the slightest," Gisele Bundchen has always been a little, well, offbeat. And now she's at it again.
The Brazilian supermodel (and mother of Tom Brady's little one) says she prays before she eats meat, and limits herself to only eating red meat once every two weeks because she feels guilty (even though she loves steak). Talk about a weird Gisele fact!

"What I find really helpful -- you might think I’m crazy -- is that before I eat any meat I always take one second of silence to put my hands over it and bless it and be grateful at least that it was a life," she told British Vogue.
And here's one more weird soundbite: she's convinced her 22-month-old son Benjamin that broccoli is better than ice cream. "My children, they are like white canvases. When Benjamin eats broccoli, he thinks it’s dessert," she said. She also has a 4-year-old stepson, Jack.

Back in the old days, Bundchen smoked a pack-and-a-half of cigarettes a day, drank a lot of red wine and ate a lot of steak, according to The Daily Mail. We kind of like the new, healthier Gisele better -- even if she is a little kooky.

+12Whenever the Native Americans (and I might assume other Aboriginal peoples) hunted, they thanked the animal whose flesh and hide they used to sustain their own life. There is nothing crazy about that. I think we would all do better to be more mindful of what we eat and appreciate its life. I grew up on a small farm and some of the chickens became meals. To their last moment they had adequate space to walk around, they had plenty of food, and they were slaughtered quickly. My father's father was a veterinarian and his grandfather was a butcher. They taught him to be mindful of the lives of animals, and he in turn taught me and my brother. The horrors of factory farming would not exist if more people were mindful of the lives of animals. I don't like anyone else imposing their spirituality on me, but this is not what Gisele is doing. I say good for her in this case.
If this is what she wants to do, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
I believe some used to pray to thank the creatures which provided the meat that they ate in order to sustain their lives. One of the more logical prayers, if you think about it. Respecting the life taken so that you could get the sustenance you need.
And... really... who cares what she does? LOL
I and don't feel guilty at all.
Saying grace even over meat is not crazy, little strange but her right to do it.
Soda Head is a little off track with posting questions like this anyway. Their asking for opinions on a well known person’s personal business. What’s the point?
You posted "Weird? What's with the religious persecution"?
Sounds like your misinformed about a lot of things when you called this person persecuted.
She is most likely doing something she was taught from family that goes back a long ways.
Soda Head? Lots of people think they post questions that are a waste of one’s intellectual time.
Now, put that in that ugly Dog's pipe and smoke it.
Weird? She has a religion. Anything weird about it?
