So did you, apparently.

Why would you kill someone for FAT? It...it's fat. Just steal some liposuction waste or something. Or use pig fat, I bet it's the exact same thing, and no legal consequences instead of a life/death sentence.

I'm moving to Alabama and doing three things -

1. Open a fried chicken stand
2. Open a liposuction clinic next door
3. Sell the fat to cosmetics makers
4. Profit!!

They did, but they only needed to kill two people to get the same amount of fat.

Aren't there plenty of other sources of fat? Isn't that what rendering plants are for? Why would you need human fat? This makes no sense.

Fat people and Tyler Durnden? Is there a connection I am missing?

I guess if you do not know what you want, you will end up with a lot of what you don't.

The only sick part is killing people for their fat when people will pay good money for you to take it. We might as well use the stuff for something.

========================================

Stealing, breaking and entering... but I'm not really sure you can put a value on it so I'm not sure they'd prosecute the stealing. You could of course, in a very nice way, ask someone for it. Like the grease from the reataurants... just a bit more disturbing.

But still, better than mutder :)

/As for pig fat, never even thought of that. Buy a couple fresh pigs bound for the slaughter-house, kill 'em yourself, render the fat... and... profit?

Sounds pretty urban-legendy.
I mean, who would POSSIBLY pay $16,000/gal? Even considering the alternative sources you mention... what cosmetics mfg is going to need so much HUMAN fat? Even if you DO sell a jar of exotic this-or-that for $200/jar and it's only got a little bit in it... first off, if you're that unscrupulous as to pretend that human fat has magical properties for cosmetics, I don't see why you'd be so scrupulous as to pay through the nose for REAL human fat anyways.

Second, how much fat do you actually NEED, then? I'm just saying, the market for exotic snake-oil cosmetics can't be big enough to continue to demand gallons and gallons man-lard at $16,000/gal just for the raw material. Say you actually do need human fat, and only a tiny amount per $200/jar. Then a "gallon" would probably last you a year, and seeing as you could get it from liposuction or unclaimed bodies, then the price won't be really high because there's no shortage of supply vs demand.

The alternative, say you DO sell big jars that are like 50% man-lard... then you DO need a lot, ok, but you're not gonna keep paying $16,000/gal for it. Not when that only makes 10 jars, and the profit margin needs to be factored in.

In either case, the market commanding such high prices AND quantity seems implausible.

I think he was referring to the wasabi part. What does wasabi have to do with a pistachio?

Butcher shops have special marked barrels which read 'Congulated Meat'. For the disgusting fat waste and scrapings from the band saws and cutting tables. Barrels content sold by weight.
Hospitals and surgery centers make money with some left-overs. Have for a long time. As long as they keep it out of the cafeteria it's win-win.

Um folks thus is Peru, the same country that accuses non Peruvians of stealing babies for organ harvesting.

Sounds like the Cops just figured out a great way to avoid the excessive force charges.

Cops: No we didn't beat them to death, evil Europeans killed them for their fat!

Reporter: But Paco was 6'2 and weighed 120 pounds

Cops: But it was all fat! Understand Porky?

It's a pairing whose time has come?

Let me break it down:
-Picture was linked hot
-Picture had a lot of green in it
-Wasabi is both green and hot

Any questions?
