Before I started reading STFU, Parents, I had no idea that there were people out there who ate their own placentas. I’ve seen cats do it, but I think my mother would’ve sooner eaten a pile of rusty nails and toejam before she’d consider noshing on her own afterbirth. And believe me, there were five of us, so it could’ve been quite a feast.
*That photo is of what is surely a delicious Placenta beverage, which I cribbed from Wired.
