I would not believe that if it weren't a BBC story. I imagine plastic surgeons can't do anything with the waste from lipo?
I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

Because books.
I'm sure if you wanted body fat, there must be an easier way to find it.
See Fight Club.
Or what Jesse said.

Fight Club (I just typed in Fight Blub) is exactly what I thought of.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I think people are a little suspicious of that story, partly because human fat is not that great of a moisturizer. If it really could draw that kind of price per ounce, wouldn't people be paying you to have lipo? Why would it be particularly better than animal fat, for that matter?

It doesn't have to really be better for people to believe it's better.

Man, I would be all over that. I haven't had a medical procedure for money in years!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Think of the crazy black markets in exotic animal gall bladders and the like.
I still think it's crazy, though, but so are people. I just think the method of acquiring it is ludicrously extreme.

I adore salty goodness, and I have the high blood pressure to prove it.
