The idea has its merits.

It is legal.
It is moral.
It certainly is not fattening.
There is no government involvement.

Only downside it can see is that the fat must be "rendered" to oil. Rendering is extremely smelly.

Lessee...I need about a hundred gallons per month. That's 700 lb of fuel Figure ten lb per procedure. 1:1 conversion (I don't believe that - let's say 1:2 conversion) so we get 5 lb of B100 per procedure, so I need the fat from 140 procdeures. A good plastic surgeon could keep me in biodiesel.

Remember "Fight Club" - making soap from lipo fat?
