stomach #3

​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?

Given the ongoing terror of stomach amputation — so-called weight-loss surgery — 
here's hoping ​a stomach a day keeps the scalpel away...

​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.
