Grotesque | Jenny Sorensen

Today I was sitting in my Nutrition class taking notes. We are talking about protein and the effects it has on our bodies. There was a picture of, I think, a child's foot that had Adema. that means that they have not had enough protein to help reduce water in the tissues of the foot. The ankle looked like and elephant's ankle and the foot looked like a huge, red balloon with little pug toes stuck to the bottom of it. It kind of resembled a latex glove that was blown up, only it was red. It was disgusting! The second I looked up at the powerpoint to write down more notes and I saw that, I immediately went augh! and had to look away. I've never seen skin that could turn red and huge like a balloon like that and not explode like a bomb.
