Time Writer Makes Fun of Wife for Eating Her Placenta
user
If you’re a reader of this
blog, you’re likely familiar with placentophagy…you know, the art
of placenta consumption. Apparently the practice is brand new to
Time writer Joel Stein who spent an entire article mocking his wife
for wanting to consume her own placenta (with herbs!) for its many
benefits.
“when Cassandra told me that for $275, a woman would come to
our house, cook Cassandra’s placenta, freeze-dry it and turn it
into capsules to help ward off postpartum depression and increase
milk supply, I said, “$275 is a bargain compared with the $20,000
I’ll have to spend to tear out our kitchen immediately
afterward.”
Joel is clearly not impressed. To be fair, many of us find the
whole “Placenta: it’s the other white meat” a tad bizarre,
stomach-churning, etc. And, yeah, Stein gets a few funny lines
in.
