http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/12174.html OSLO, Norway, Dec. 6 One person's liposuction is another person's biodiesel fuel, as a Norwegian businessman wants to use suctioned fat to develop an alternative fuel source. Biodiesel can be produced from either plant oils or animal fat, and Lauri Venoy sees the product from liposuction procedures as a renewable energy source, Aftenposten said
Liposuctioned fat into fuel, eh? So, now I'm not overweight, but bio-diesel enriched? Who knew McDonalds could be a "filling" station? :blink:

Might help with the over population problem...... :lol:

It would make an excellent episode of the Larry David show. His wife could organize pickets at trendy Hollywood cosmetic surgery joints and meathead could fund a proposition to make fat farms recycle.
And so the body image turns. It used to be that thin people were poor and plump people were rich. Now it's the thin that are rich and many poor are overweight. But if poor people can sell their body fat for biodiesel, then the tables will turn and the sign of being poor will be to be really thin.
