Lots of mammals eat the placenta. Eating it recovers some nutrients for the mother. No woo required.
As humans who have plenty food, no placenta eating is required to get enough nutrients
But it is probably the most environmentally friendly source of nutrients.
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.
You eat human organs all the time?! And you're saying my brain is fucked up?!!
people eat organs of other animals, learn to read.
I'm vegan
How could I read something you didn't write ๐
I'm struggling to understand what you're trying to communicate about yourself here
Or she could have a Boost supplemental nutrition drink and have it taste like chocolate instead of blood and placenta.
