Well this is gross, but I couldn't help myself.
The LA Times posted a link to an article on Mom Logic today about women who eat their placentas after giving birth. (Please hold while I finish gagging.)
Ahem.
I did a little research on this seemingly bizarre practice and learned that it is a common practice among some cultures. Supposedly, this ripe piece of flesh is not only a great source of nutrients, but it also supposed to help prevent postpartum depression.
If you really want to gross yourself out, be sure to check out the Placenta Gallery on Mom Logic. Eek!
