With victims such as Paula Deen, Ron Swanson and of course, a zombie, this 'Anatomy of the Heart' meme is pretty harsh, but undeniably hilarious.

Definitely viral-worthy, this [satirical chart](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-daily-snoo) details projected and stereotype-based ideas of what a person or character's insides would look like based on what the public knows of their diet. For zombies, there are brains, for Americans, there are [famous fast food logos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spirit-halloween-chipotle) and for Paula Deen, there is butter (and lots of it).

Though likely to face a lot of flak for its insensitivity, the meme has just enough [jest](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zinger) to make it work. After all, who's going to argue that Ron Swanson isn't probably made of bacon and eggs?
