I really think I might have recoiled from a meat teddy bear as well.
Okay, people can stop saying meat too.
I can't say a tofu teddy bear would be any more appealing to me.
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

Why is a placenta nastier than any other piece of meat?
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.]

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

Sure, meat from a dead human.
You make that distinction. I don't think all humans do. Not Jesse, for sure. And not me. If I cut your leg off and don't kill you, is it seriously less nasty than taking it off your dead body?
And why wouldn't eating yourself be cannibalism? You're redefining the word. Eating yourself is merely self-cannibalism, a refinement.

Oooooh, you're mean.
I really don't want to have to explain to my co-workers why I'm laughing so hard. Quick, someone give me a double-rainbow video to blame this on.

To totally change the topic: has anyone else been watching "Huge"? I'm finding I like it a lot more than I expected to.

In college, all we had to do to get a friend to literally RUN from the room was whisper "MMMMmoist panties." She hated both words, so the two together made her gag like a rabbit.
