Yummy, yummy. Want some dead human birth by-product tissue to munch on?
Better not!
"... the placenta is essentially an organ that serves to filter out toxins and often collects them. Besides bacteria, human placentas are often crawling with mercury and lead."So forget consuming placentas. You would be better off getting something from Taco Bell.
I know someone who saved theirs in the fridge and planted a tree, using it as fertilizer.
Ah, I kind of want to look up a bunch of facts and go off on how there’s more mercury in a can of tuna to play the devil’s advocate here, but it sounds like a lot of work to go through for a gag because I would feel the need to do it right and present an actual, thought out rebuttal even though I’m with you on this one.
I know someone who saved theirs in the fridge and planted a tree, using it as fertilizer.That would be a good idea, however one would need to be careful about not getting bacteria in their freezer, I suppose.
That would be a good idea, however one would need to be careful about not getting bacteria in their freezer, I suppose.That's a good point. And one would also need to not run afoul of local, state and federal laws concerning the lawful storage of "human remains", which may apply depending on the wording of the laws. I would bet that more than a few of those laws have specific sections concerning storing body parts next to the frozen waffles you feed your kids.
It’s not easy to make me queasy, but you’re getting me there.
The discussion is about eating something which comes out of a human vagina as a byproduct of birth and I’m the one making you queasy? I’ve seen 4 births and not once did any part of it make me think in any way of eating anything.
I have seen dozens of mares foal. It never made me queasy or hungry. One would think that if eating placenta had survival value, I would have naturally evolved cravings for all of the equine afterbirth. But I don’t recall any cravings crossing my mind.
Cats do. And some desert frogs that can hibernate for decades eat the shroud that they hibernate in when it finally rains and they emerge long enough to find some food and get down for a bit. It’s not uncommon in nature. But cats also lick their own asses and even if I could I’m not into it.
And humans eat other humans in certain contingencies. If I were starving, and had nothing else to eat, I would cook it up, insuring that the heat would kill all the germs. And I would just hope that the other toxins in it, were minimal.
