No he wont.  He has done an interview where he said he was joking and he wasnt really going to eat it.

Id just like to slap him around with it. While wearing a welding helmet of course, to ward off his Xenu powers.

quite interesting actually - they are discussing it on more 4 news - a midwife basically said that she persuaded a woman to eat her placenta after she lost a lot of blood during birth & refused to go to hospital.

apparently it is also used in chinese medcine for iron deficiency & insomnia.

A friend of a friend (unlikely to lie tbh) had his wifes placenta brewed into a beer that was avaliable at the christening.

Apparently there was only one taker...him (http://www.tekforums.co.uk/images/smilies/1dd6d5e3a8aea3bcc86a99e35bf04f4d.gif)

Ive always favoured the "dont knock it until youve tried it approach" so Id give it a bash.

Personally... providing its cooked. Id happily consider eating it depending on the texture.

Im fussy as hell when it comes to meat, its sinews and jelly fat that I hate just cant stomach it. So providing it was completely clear of that crap, Id eat it.

Folks do do it from time to time.

Placenta hs virtually no fat and definitely no sinew. Its actually a relatively healthy thing to eat. Many animals do so in order to reabsorb the nutrients.

umm I think youll find that most animals are not exactly nutritional experts but they do scoff it in order to prevent attracting predators
