What if we saw as many cute images of stomachs as we see of hearts, or even of brains?
Would public opinion about this practice be different if we could see the damage done
to otherwise healthy internal organs?

This stomach was originally created on January 1, 2017.
Questions to ponder:
These fishnets are "nude" for whom? White supremacy should have no place in plus-size fashion. Fat people are all colors, genders, sexualities, ages, and ability levels. Also: Why is the same color called "nude" in fishnets and brown in eggs? Whiteness is a cultural construct, a power grab, a tool of oppression.
