I don't know if anyone else knows about Dr. Oz on Oprah, but he talks a lot about getting fat into the omentum and how it is hard to lose weight there. Would this be the greater or lesser omentum? Why do we store fat there and why is it hard to get rid of? Should there be a certain amount of fat there? If so, what is its function?

Here is a link to Oprah's website with the Dr. Oz omentum discussion (and picture). What does everyone think?
