A woman known on Twitter as Baby Mofo recently set the internet ablaze after revealing a shocking and unconventional culinary choice: she cooked and ate her aunt’s placenta after childbirth — and claims it was “tamu sana” (very delicious).
Not stopping there, Baby Mofo posted before-and-after photos of the cooked placenta and boldly encouraged her followers to give this “nutritious delicacy” a try.
Placenta on the Menu? Twitter Explodes
As expected, her confession triggered a storm of reactions across social media. Some users acknowledged that placenta consumption is practiced in some parts of the world, while others were visibly horrified, calling it disgusting and disturbing. The replies were a mix of disbelief, dark humor, and even spiritual panic, with some tweeting things like, “Only God can save this generation.”
Is Eating Placenta Actually Healthy?
While the practice is rare in Kenya, the idea of eating placenta (known as placentophagy) isn’t new. Some proponents claim it can help with postpartum recovery, improve mood, boost energy, aid weight loss, and even enhance breast milk production. However, no Kenyan woman has publicly come forward to confirm any such benefits.
