Scary to say the least. Reminds me of the movie “Silence of the Lambs” where that psycho killed plus size women for their skin. And one has to wonder what do doctors do with the fat from liposuction operations?? Surely the doctors don’t throw the fat out, as doctors want to make a buck every way they can.

To say that fat isn’t lucrative in the “black market” is one who wants to keep their head stuck in the sand and pretend that such evil doesn’t exist in society. As usual, money is the root of all evil.

The plastic surgeon used fat from liposuction to power a vehicle – This was partly finding a use for the fat(other than the bin), and partly to demonstrate alternative fuel sources. I think he would have preferred to make $60,000 per gallon.
I say that figure is bogus for human fat.

other body parts… ?

Two or three years ago, a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon was taking the fat removed from his patients and using it to make biodiesel. Some patients believe that the surgeon took out too much and sued him.

Rendered fats has distinct odors. Lard smells different from tallow. I have smelled rendered bear fat, and it has a different aroma. Unfortunately I have smelled burnt human fat, but never rendered. Operating rooms used to reek of burnt meat from electrocautery. For years now they use a vacuum lines to suck it up because the the carcinogens. Same risk as a BBQ.

Do they have to kill you? I wouldn’t mind if someone stole my belly fat if there were no medical complications. My six pack abs are hidden under a layer of fat.

Fat people are grotesque anyway. Lends a whole new meaning to the term “thinning the herd”.
