Human Placenta as a Food?

Disgusting as I find it, yes, a baby's placenta is often used for food. In some Asian countries it is made into a soup, and it is considered good luck for the family to partake in the meal made from it. And yes, is is put in some beauty products, including shampoo. I remember several years ago it was learned that a shampoo company was actually using aborted fetuses in the making of their shampoo. Once that came to light and people had a fit, they took that ingredient out of their shampoo formula.

i knew it was a food. in fact, it is the only meat product that vegetarians can eat because it doesnt kill an animal in the process. well, as far as i know anyway. its kind of a nasty thought knowing that someone could be eating something that came from inside me, but then again the thought of eating snail or liver never appealed to me much either.

I did not know of human placenta being used as a food. I am aware that it used to be a part of lot of baby products as it was thought that the placenta is the best thing for babies and it has everything that a baby requires to be nourished.

I have no idea whether this is true as well.

Cheers!
