Before and After Surgery
Can anyone say truthfully that they know what goes on inside their bodies? We're all built in a similar way, sure, with the same bones, muscles, and organs, but what do they really look like inside, and what does it look like when they don't work the way they should? Here's one example. The photo on the left shows a child whose knees are at an odd angle, whereas the photo on the right shows the same child after surgery.
The procedure, called guided growth surgery, is meant to prevent the knees and legs from growing at an angle, causing pain and strain on the person's body as it grows. Hooray, science!
Same Person, Different Limbs

This person got some tan on their hands during deployment, but clearly, their feet didn't get to be in the sun.
It's truly amazing to see what the human body is capable of. We thought this was the foot of a dead body!
Farmed Vs. Wild
Now this made us lose our appetite. Before you are two pieces of raw salmon: farmed salmon on the left, and wild salmon on the rightt. The differences in the fish's flesh are undeniable. The human race has been farming salmon for decades now, and that has clearly taken a toll on the fish. The color and texture of its flesh are completely different, making it look like a totally different species.
This makes us wonder if all those nutritious benefits the fatty, yummy fish is famous for even apply to farmed salmon.
