When you eat “your” placenta you’re not eating your placenta you’re eating your baby’s placenta — it’s not autocannibalism, it’s just plain old ordinary cannibalism

Obv talking about “my placenta” colloquially is completely normal, I did it too — what bugs me is, I guess, the lack of knowledge about what the placenta actually is, and its gestational role vis a vis the various bodies involved

I think if someone has been staying at your place, and leaves some food in the fridge when they leave, it's fair game.

Also worth noting is that placentophagy is a great way to get yourself and then also get your newborn infant, who has a very fragile immune system, dangerously sick!

(Before they're 8 weeks old, a baby can go from sudden fever to death in well under a day.)
