Has anyone ever cooked and eaten placenta?

My wife is 8 months and we're thinking of eating the placenta the night of the birth

[Anonymous No.16392306]

cooking it kills all the bacteria anyway.

I work in a pathology lab and handle placentas every day. I would never in a million years eat one.
The texture is like a dish sponge, but filled with blood.
Blood does not taste good.

pathology guy here again.
No, it's some hippy dippy new age shit.
Nobody can explain why a woman eating her own placenta is scientifically better than just cooking her a steak.
That's because the people who encourage and recommend it are inclined to magical thinking.

explain what's in a cooked placenta that would treat PPD equal or better to eating a steak instead.
Name the chemical.

just go ahead and say it realigns your chi or some shit, since you have nothing scientific to back up your claims of "it's just healthy ok"

It can if you're low in iron. Pregnant women have a high iron requirement, higher than adult men. Placenta could provide that I guess but so could beef liver or something.

[Anonymous No.16392381]

>>16392378
No doubt. Blood has tons of iron.
Women need to consume tons of iron after giving birth.
Absolutely true in that regard.


But like I said before. Just eat a steak.

>NOOOOO PEOPLE DERIVING SPIRITUAL FULFILLMENT FROM A HARMLESS ACTIVITY WHY AREN'T THEY TAKING DRUGS INSTEAD???
Grow out of your scientism phase as soon as possible. It's like saying "why do people have funerals when their family members die, they're just collections of molecules after all". Spiritual health is at least as important as physical and mental health. To dismiss it because it can't be boiled down into empirical autism is to reject the central thread of humanity in favor of living like a machine.

[Anonymous No.16392409]

>>16392390
What's the spiritual fulfillment of eating a membrane covered sack of blood vessels in accordance with a hippie book written in 1972?

Why not get a different spirituality besides this pseudo-pagan earth mother witchcraft bullshit where you need to drink your own rotten blood to get soul energy from it?

[Anonymous No.16392420]

>>16392381
Steak actually doesn't have a ton of iron. It's still a decent source of it but can't compare with liver which has like 7x as much by weight. Like sometimes I crave red meat but other times I can just tell I need more iron and red meat won't satisfy even if I eat close to a pound of it, and I'll keep wanting to eat liver instead.

fun fact
scientific research has shown that cooking acidic food like tomatoes in cast iron literally transfers some of that iron into your food.

Spirituality is not the central thread of humanity. Rational thinking is what separates us from animals and why we no longer live in the stone age. Some people derive comfort from spirituality, which is fine. But you don’t need to justify eating placentas by claiming it has any sort of special health benefit that other foods don’t.

Holy fucking shit, i was weary of you from the start, lost all faith in you after claiming eating your own placenta cures BPD, but wow you are actually a batshit dipshit. Never, ever spread your "information" to anyone or you will go straight to hell for deceiving everyone you meet. Fuck, i don't care stupid you are, that doesnt make you a bad person, but know your place my guy.

Why not eat it? If the little bastard inside wanted it, he should have eaten it first.

OP, you fool. The placenta should be used as a weapon for your child, as it carries the vengeance of the mother's blood.

It’s more because your wife just shit it out her vagina, along with actual shit. Women shed tissue every month, why not eat that?

The placenta is waste from a pregnancy. Do you eat your wife's shit and vaginal discharge as well?

I like the idea of planting a tree and using the placenta as fertilizer. Eating it just sounds retarded. If you want the most benefit out of it you'd eat it raw but why would you do that? Are you a malnourished bushman from the kalahari?

Seriously plant a tree, you can then tell your kid and they'll think your kind of weird but kinda cool, as opposed to telling them or anyone else that you ate what amounts to a human organ

Just so I'm clear, you think that postpartum depression is caused by some sort of spiritual disorder, rather than having any material cause?
>>16392342
This isn't something that _any_ culture has done prior to the 20th century though. Chinese herbal medicine uses dried human placenta as a remedy, not for PPD in the mother, but for other people. Go and do some reading:

You are a retard. You don't know what you are talking about and your only defense in the matter is spirituality because you are fucking stupid and to people like you inexplicable practices make sense because you basically view it as magic.
