Did you know you have a big fatty apron up inside of you? You do. Today we meet one of my favorte organs: The greater omentum. I mean omentum, such a good name. My book loves to describe it as a fatty apron that hangs off the bottom of the stomach over your intestines.

In non-human animals it’s called the caul. And you know apron kind of works because the omentum tucks in and protects your guts. It’s also got pockets! It’s where people store excess energy as fat.
