Great, more thoughts of using our food as fuel. I'll entertain the idea of ethanol and other biofuels when we manage to stamp out world hunger. Oil prices and pollution from oil products is, in my mind, trivial compared to starving children in the third world.

PS: Heh, if you want to use your own fat for fuel, however, go right ahead.

Went to South America to do voluntary work in a clinic there....yeah right :hmm:

This may be a great idea. All of those folks that get "weight challenged" by eating fast food can have their cars powered by their own fat a55es. And to double the savings, the used French Fry grease can be turned into fuel, too.

Soon when you go to the drive thru at MickeyD's you can fill up your belly and your tank at the same time:rotfl:

Can I borrow a arm or leg, my car is running low on fuel.

Great! More incentive for people to try that barbaric procedure instead of actually working off the pounds.

Well if fat ever becomes energy this will completely at utterly take care of America's fuel problems.

I think people with Leprosy will become a valuable commodity due to this.

I was wondering what happens to all that fat after someone has liposuction...It would probably clog up my Edelbrock 750 though....
