    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

          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
