Liposuctioning unwanted blubber out of pampered Los Angelenos may not seem like a dream job, but it has its perks. Free fuel is one of them. For a time, Beverly Hills doctor Craig Alan Bittner turned the fat he removed from patients into bio-diesel that fueled his Ford S-U-V and his girlfriend's Lincoln Navigator.
Love handles can power a car? Frighteningly, yes. Fat -- whether animal or vegetable -- contains triglycerides that can be extracted and turned into diesel. On his blog, Bittner claimed, "The vast majority of my patients request that I use their fat for fuel -- and I have more fat than I can use. Not only do they get to lose their love handles or chubby belly but they get to take part in saving the Earth."
