I don't get the skeeve, really. Why is a placenta nastier than any other piece of meat?
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Society already has relative skeeves set up for pieces of meat, and human meat? REALLY high on the skeeve meter, if you've noticed.
I am having Zankou's today. If I ever leave the office on time. Which is early.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't tend to eat any part of a human, and I'm not personally excited about eating any filter organ -- I haven't eaten liver, for example.

I really think I might have recoiled from a meat teddy bear as well.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Okay, people can stop saying meat too.

Sure, meat from a dead human. But no humans died to make this meat. This is human-friendly meat.
And, since generally its the mother eating it herself, is it really canibalism? I mean, nail biting is nasty, but its not canibalism.

I can't say a tofu teddy bear would be any more appealing to me.

It's not meat, for one. It's mostly blood vessels and connective tissue - the stuff you'd carve off of any halfway decent steak and maybe give to your dog if you didn't want to throw it out.
[Seriously, giving birth is exhausting. After it's over, you crave comfort food. Not variety meat.]

How about moist meat? I bet placentas are really moist.
