Eco-boat powered by human fat attempts round the world speed record (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=503419&in_page_id=1770)

In light of the above article, I think I have come up with an amazing solution to three problems at once.

It goes like this, recruit poor fat people and liposuction them for fuel to burn in our SUVs! They would need a minimal health screening before surgery, so that benefits them. They could recieve a modest price for their fat. The fuel distilled from it is carbon neutral, and will help to end global warming. It's a win-win!

Fuel oil derived from the fat ("oil") in vegetables is carbon-neutral. (I'm taking your word for that.) But will fuel oil derived from the fat in animals also be?

I'm not sure Americans would go for this. We would no longer be able to brag about being such a prosperous country that the biggest nutritional problem among our poor people is obesity. :)

I don't think the average Somali or Cambodian would even understand this discussion!
