A lot of other animals eat Placenta after giving birth and I would suppose there is a certain ingredient in it that animal's crave. Have watched many Cows, Hogs, Horses, Cats and Dogs do this...
As Far as people I'm sure there must be some long ago started tradition of some sort....

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, placenta is considered a powerful and sacred medicine, full of life force. Raven Lang, a midwife who studied Traditional Chinese Medicine, advises the use of placenta during the postpartum course to aid in recovery from childbirth. After the placenta is prepared it is taken in capsule form, 2 capsules at a time, with white wine. The wine is said to help disperse the energy of the placenta throughout the body. Women can take this dose up to three times a day, and continue until they no longer feel a need. Remaining placenta can be saved and used homeopathically for those times when the child undergoes a separation from the mother. For example, when first learning to walk, or when weaning, or when going off ory is made from qi and blood, human placenta used to augment qi and blood will help augment lactation.

Well, it comes from Pagan times about the Goddess and yadda, yadda, yadda.
But remember, not everyone does it...and also in some places they see it as a delicacy.

where'd u get that from? that sounds like some kind of pagan ritual performed to insure the crops coming in or something. if ppl still do that then they must be some kind of backwoods tribe untouched by civilization like some of these new guinea tribes

The birth itself is an anticlimax. You got a whole lot of people standing around bored, and by that point, hungry. Shitt happens.
