I recently had a baby and someone mentioned that you can eat the placenta. I guess it is possible to eat pretty much anything. I read about a guy who could eat a TV set, so a placenta would be a walk in the park for him.
What I'm wondering is if this would be cannibalism or not? Is there a proper definition for cannibalism that excludes people that bite their fingernails, but includes the people that continue to eat the fingers? Or perhaps you’re not a cannibal as long as you only eat your own body parts? So many questions. Perhaps this will end up a whole new subcategory in Yahoo answers?
But my actual question is still whether you are a cannibal or not if you eat the placenta. And since I posted this in a Food related subsection, please recommend possible recipes regardless of legal status.
