Let’s not forget that we are human, and human is not separate from animal, only in our heads is that true. No matter how sophisticated our culture has become and how detached we have become from what we are from, we must realize that we are beasts. It is true that we do not need to eat the afterbirth, as we are very capable of surviving without the healthy nutrients it provides. But, notice how you did not say one negative thing about this act. Only that it is gross, but no facts are given (or even exist) as to why a woman or a household should not take part in placentophagy.
I am in no way campaigning for you, the writer, to eat your placenta, because it is your choice and as a mother you know what is best for your body and the health of your child. I appreciate your sincerity and factual “rant” on this topic. But to the commentators, let’s be open minded to this act. It is not a radical practice, but a spiritual, religious, health, or hunger related one. We learned what we can and cannot eat from the other animals. Why is it that the placenta is so gross? It had fed your baby for nine (I’m sure) LONG months. It is not gross.

Champagne and guiness (not combined) are also good for milk production and tests on humans have proven that they reduce post partum pain and depression and send the mother well on her way to feeling almost normal again.

Warren’s gonna make biltong from my placenta and then we are going to sell it to witchdoctors, although they may prefer it raw. I am very glad to know that you would rather invite us to have dinner at yours than see us eat placenta – you are good friends!

WTF. Man alive. I want to puke. Please make Zanin eat that. People are weird. I don’t think you guys are poor enough to eat that. Rather come to our house if you need food. Haha. x
