Fat Harvest

You may not consider Peru to be an innovator in much of anything. Hell, maybe they are and I just don’t know about it but some entrepreneurs in that country have changed my mind. There is a group there that call themselves the Pishtacos, which oddly sounds like fish tacos to me. At any rate, some members of this gang were caught for killing fat people and selling their fat. That’s right, they would lead unsuspecting fat people out into the countryside by falsely advertising jobs. Once they had them in the countryside they would kill them and extract their fat. Police believed the fat was being sold to European companies for cosmetic reasons.

This made me think. What if we harvested our fat people? Would this get us out of the economic slump we are now in? Evidently the Pishtacos were making $15,000 per liter of fat. With the obesity epidemic here in the US that equates to one hell of a big payday. We could stuff them like cattle with cheap carbohydrates and watch them balloon up and then harvest them. I think Haliburton and Dick Cheney might want a piece of this action. I will call him and see if he is in. If this plan goes through then the US will once again be number one in something other than just being fat. We will be the fat suppliers to the world.
