Why is a placenta nastier than any other piece of meat?
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.
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.
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.
Eating parts of oneself, I think is it for me.
I have no probs with organ meat, but I won't eat brain, tongue or balls either. Tried 'em, don't like 'em.
I wouldn't eat an animal placenta, either, so eating human placenta is out. It doesn't look like it would taste good, aside from the ZOMG IT OOZED OUT OF MY VAG squick.
