Good Enough To Eat

What’s with women and their urge to consume cute kids? Colin explores one theory

- Colin Hogg

I suppose it’s hardly surprising that women can be a little strange about other people’s babies. If you’ve ever given birth, I reckon you’re fully licensed to be as strange about babies as you want to, but maybe just try not to eat them.

It’ll be because I’m a man, but I really wouldn’t dream of telling any mother how “delicious” her new baby looked. On the other hand, some women don’t hold back at all on sharing those sorts of feelings.

Maybe I’m only noticing it because there are a few new babies in my life, but I keep hearing declarations from women about the deliciousness of babies, even to the point of some suggesting that they wouldn’t mind a nibble.
