You joke, but there are literally people who eat their own placenta. I know someone who did. Crystals and essential oils and energy healing and all that, you know. I don't talk about that kind of stuff with her because for some reason we just can't seem to find common ground lol

Lots of mammals eat the placenta. Eating it recovers some nutrients for the mother. No woo required.

Or she could have a Boost supplemental nutrition drink and have it taste like chocolate instead of blood and placenta.
