    Lots of mammals eat the placenta. Eating it recovers some nutrients for the mother. No woo required.

        Vast numbers of humans live in poverty and may not have abundant nutrients. Would that your statement was universally true.

          There is an assumption that everyone surfing Lemmy are from developed countries. I’m not generalizing the western placenta eating experience to Somalia or Bangladesh

        I don’t really understand why you wouldn’t though? Like it’s just an organ, people eat organs all the time. At least this one involved bringing life into the world instead of death.

        The only reason not to is if your brain is fucked up enough that you think it’s icky or something.

              I’m vegan.

              I’m struggling to understand what you’re trying to communicate about yourself here
