But I try to make a policy never to reject anything (foodwise) until I've actually tried it. I can't think of any reason why it would taste gross so if it were presented without any kind of new age spiritual baggage attached I'd probably try it.

Don't get me wrong, I have much love for the crunchy woman crowd, being fairly crunchy when compared to mainstream myself. Most of my mom friends are crunchier than me, and in general I find the crunchy crowd to be concerned about being socially and environmentally responsible, passionate, and patient and gentle with their kids. It's the looks I get when I mention I'm going to Disneyland (how consumerist!) that bug me. Imagine if they knew I'd be using a stroller while there!
I've never been able to bring myself to eat any internal organs, so I would definitely pass on the placenta. And I must admit, I'm always a little happy to find things that are crunchier than I. Placenta eating and cloth toilet paper will forever be beyond the bounds of my crunchyness.
