Iconic 00s reality series The Hills was filled with people living on a different plane of existence to the rest of us, and former star Heidi Montag is continuing to act this way. 

Montag, who’s in a relationship with the nickname “Speidi”, was snapped by paparazzi earlier this week casually munching on a raw bison heart. The meat was held inside a huge plastic bag that looks like it was used to hold evidence in CSI. As she noticed the paps, Montag flashed a big smile as she continued to chew the bloody organ.

Each to their own, I guess. A lot of people don’t like eating even the smallest item of food in public and here’s Montag out here with a literal bovines’ heart.

This isn’t a new thing for her: the reality star has been espousing the benefits of her strange raw meat diet plan over the past few months. Back in January, she filmed herself eating raw liver, which she called the “breakfast of champions”. She even tagged an actual doctor, Dr. Paul Saladino, who uses his Instagram page to promote the health benefits of eating raw meat.

She followed that up with another video of her eating raw liver in February. “There are so many health benefits to eating liver, animal organs, raw liver,” she claimed in the video.

If you want to have some raw meat like Montag, eat your heart out (sorry), but do so at your own risk: anyone who eats raw meat is at risk of “contracting a foodborne illness”, as per healthline.com. Cooking meat properly removes potentially harmful pathogens and bacteria.

Montag is still with her husband Spencer Pratt – aka “Speidi” – who she met on The Hills. The two are parents to 4-year-old son Gunner.
