People feel queasy when someone vomits, and that's for good reason. Food should only go down, not up. That's just the way the world works, literally. It's called gravity, and one woman is defying it on purpose.
Riva Godrey, a YouTube personality, is garnering a lot of attention for preparing food by chewing it in her mouth first. So far she has two episodes on her page called "Cooking With Your Mouth," where she teaches people how to make delicious recipes (that don't become so delicious anymore) "by using the safety and comfort of your own mouth."
She doesn't have a care in the world about what it is that she chews. If it's part of the recipe, she will prepare it in her mouth. That includes raw meat...
What's her secret ingredient you may ask? It's her spit. (We're joking of course.)
Ok that mouth cooking stuff was satire right?

Riva's "cooking" series has gone viral. Her first video has so far accumulated more than 150,000 views, and her second, which was posted two weeks ago, has almost 8,000 views on YouTube.
Like all things bizarre, social media is mighty intrigued, but still overwhelmingly disgusted by Riva's videos. It's got a lot of people talking, and for once many of us are on the same page.
Next up from Riva Godfrey: "How to make tea from your own urine." #eccentricBritishloons

I just saw this thing called #mouthcooking. I really want to unseen this. What is wrong with people. @GordonRamsay would loose his mind.

There are some people who cheer her on, though. Maybe only one person...
@Riva_Godfrey so much love and appreciation for your love of cooking with your mouth! Ignore the haters Riva! #iloveriva

If you're brave enough, watch Riva's latest video in which she makes a raw steak tartare - in her mouth. And yes, she will chew raw meat if you were so curiously wondering.
