   Wow! It did look like a colorful meal. After reading John Doe’s comment above, I thought that it would be a vile piece of footage, but I can’t say that I saw anything really gross in it. Especially not after reading some dude’s blog that has very detailed pics! Anyway, your video was interesting. The only reason I am really commenting is that my kitten is sitting on the chair next to me and was engrossed in your video as soon as you added the placenta. lol She just kinda cocked her head and got the funniest expression. Thanks.

   I stumbled for placentophagy and found this. I have to do a medical anthropology research paper, I chose - cultural practices with the placenta as my topic. This is definitely interesting. I look forward to showing the class this video as part of my presentation. :O)
   I was not sure how to feel about seeing this. My boyfriend seemed to not believe you were actually eating it. Hmmmm…. I believe you were eating it, but would I try it myself is the question. Well, so truly become part of a cultural experience, sometimes one must take part. I’d definitely think about it.
   To John Doe: it’s people with perspectives like yours that will keep our global mind closed.

   I hope you saved some of that for the mum! Good on you for looking past what popular culture sees as disgusting and going for the natural choice of ‘waste not, want not’. We’re one of the few (if not the only) mammalian species who DON’T eat the placenta!

   I fricaseed the seconf placenta and we made a casserole with the third, which worked very well.

   I am not hung up on any hippy nonsense, but it is a nice meat and I cannot understand why anyone would waste it.

   My stomach just twists and turns at the thought of eating that. Now… to make someone unknowingly eat it, that’s a different story. I watched my cat eat the placentas off the kittens last night and then I wondered, “why don’t humans do that”? The placenta from a human is big as hell!

   It’s funny how so many people get disgusted by this (I sent the link to quite a few people) when in fact it is not very different from eating any other meat. Social training definitely is limiting our perspectives…. :/

    You could say that it’s just like any other meat although it is from your own species and also just came out the vagina. However, most other mammals do eat the placenta so perhaps we should join the festivities. If you eat someone elses placenta there is always the risk of getting diseases but if it’s your own theses are of course elminated but the fact of actually eating your self engrosses me.
