Fat is Good Dept:
Former Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Craig Alan Bittner used fat taken from his patients to fuel his car.

Bittner had converted his car to biodiesel and was thus using the fat drained from his patients’ bodies to run his vehicle.

It is not sure when he began this practice but now he is in a lot of trouble.

He is facing lawsuits by a number of patients who allege he performed surgery without a medical license.

He is now working in South America running a medical clinic and no longer practices plastic surgery.

At last, the fattest nation on Earth has a formula to put the oil companies out of business.

I don't know whether to applaud or throw -up. I also wonder how they found out. Did he brag that he got "30 miles to the gallon with Mrs. Gabor, but only 25 with Mr. Trump" ?

I would be willing to donate 10lbs of my own abundance to his commute.

He wouldn't get much off me but if it helps the environment and gets him around town then I say go for it!

So it was only after they had surgery that they thought to see if he had a medical license?

Good thing he wasn't running his car off brains.

It definitely would work. I wonder if he had to go to the trouble to make biodiesel
or if he had a "grease car" that runs on pure fat. He could also have used the fat to make soap. Human fat is not very different from pig lard.
