Dear List, I have seen on T.V. that the eating of the placenta is very common in U.K. According to the Bible the eating of the placenta happened during times of famine/poverty(Exodus 28).There is one record of really hard times where people ate their babies-times were desperate.Although I could not come at eating a placenta, I have no objections to others doing this.After my 5th babe I was not offered a look at the placenta.I might have refused but with my 3rd even though I refused I appreciated the offer.Ann --- henk / eliza merbis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Michelle, > > I have just gone to 'Google' and typed in 'Placenta > Eating' and it threw up > (excuse the punt) 1000's of sites with info > regarding this.
