Fat=Fuel? (Fight Club, Fight Club!)

[gategrrl]

Folks, don't read this article before you've eaten and had your coffee, 'kay? Because reading about how a certain medical doctor was using the human fat liposuctioned from his patients (with their knowledge?) is, although not totally gross, since it was a "green" use of the left-overs, is not exactly before-breakfast material.

Anyhoo, wonderful Discovery article. Enjoy. With lunch. Or not.

(and the testimonial link on the article page is one big fat...er...be prepared to see his patients posing with the doc while holding up their bags of lipoed fat. That's right. They hold up the bags of fat suctioned off their bodies. Yeck)

It's really the page with the testimonies that got to me. I mean, really: posing WITH YOUR FAT IN BAGS!

Gross!

It does you give you a great visual, though, on how MUCH of it is there. But still. blech
