The placenta is not suitable as a 'superfood'

Nature has a reason for everything, everything serves a purpose.

There has to be a reason why animals eat the placenta, otherwise they wouldn't do it.

Animals don't do things 'just because'.

I saw one of my dogs puke up a bagel, and my other dog ate it. Nature is a cruel mistress.

If i had to guess (probably read it somewhere) they eat the placenta to keep from drawing predators.

Why not ?

The bagel mush still contained nutrients.

Baby birds eat mommy's puked up digested food...

We humans get grossed out by such things, but animals are far more aware of their instinctual health needs than we are.



There's a reason why we never see a car full of grizzly bears pull up to a McDonalds drive-thru and place an order for 18 diet cokes and 12 super-sized fries with extra ketchup... they know better.

My dog used to eat cat crap from the litter box.

I aint gonna find out why.

I would file placenta along with the desiccants contained in any number of packages as things that don't require the warning "Do Not Eat".

I just ate some Jello. I now feel like I have to Puke after reading this.

I sure hope they cook it.

Actually the dehydrate it, grind it into powder and add it to jello.

Now I really am going to puke. Why did you have to mention Jello there.

Because

Nope, never. Bio-waste.

Yummmmmm. J-E-L-L-O

So ATS, do you like your placenta medium rare or well done?

Trump would like his over cooked hard as a rock. Me? Well I’m no Trump, I would never eat a placenta! And Hillary bathes in them! you know we can’t have a thread without mentioning Trump or Hillary!

You obviously haven't been to Canada then.

Mooses prefer to ride around on those Vespa scooter things, but the grizzes tend to like the Jeep Cherokees... I'm thinking it's because they're more roomy inside.

Oh my friggin g_d!! I think I just threw up a little in my mouth. Why, oh why, seasonal, did you have to post the picture!!

Eee gads, I’ve had 3 children pulled outta me and never was exposed to that!!

Cruel. Just cruel.

If a bear runs across 18 Md's large fries, they are going to eat them.

Human/dogs-I will take the humans eating patterns, our guts do not have the ability to preform the feats like a mongrel's can.

Seems that'd be self-evident.

I think we need to have visual aids to assist us in our discussion. And yes I did not enjoy thinking about what the pic was.

Soak it in milk first... it cooks up like liver.

Sautee the onions and garlic first. Add the placenta when the onions just start to caramelize. Deglaze the pan with a dry red, like a Merlot or Cabernet.
