Kristal said placenta-eating was first reported in the 1970s

Kristal is obviously not up on her anthropology. Many ancient societies ate the placenta, and many animals instinctively do it today. When food is scarce, you don't let that many nutrients go to waste.

I'm not saying I would do it, but it's silly to pretend this is somehow a modern invention.
