Making bio-diesel of human fat

Hi

Today I read the news that a Norwegian company will buy fat that is removed from Americans in order to make bio-diesel. As we are getting fatter and fatter here in the Western world I guess this is a resource that won't run empty for a while. To start with the company will buy about 11.500 liters of fat per week to make the bio-diesel

Regards
Gard

So how's this going to impact the current anti-obesity movement?

This reminds me of something very bad that went on in WWII.
