CBC News - World - Peru gang accused of killing to sell human fat

OK, so that explains why soaps can be so expensive! I've always wondered........
Wasn't it in "Fight Club" where they said Human Fat made the best soap?
In the movie, and again, it was a movie, They stole fat from Lyposuction places...
I'm sure it's incinerated, rather than just tossed out like they did in the picture.
Seems like a better idea than murder....
Incinerated... right.
Haven't you ever wondered what "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter", IS?

Im feeling sick right now
All I know is I feel fully moisturized right now. Supple, even.
I should have enough soap to last a lifetime. I wonder how much I could get for about 50 lbs?

but can it be processed the same way? is it a semantic difference?
don't mean to sound morbid, just curious.
It's fat and can be used like any other fat. Fats have names e.g.Quote:

…and 'I Can't Believe It's not Butter' from human. Personally, I can't believe they thought that was a good name for a margarine. Don't eat the bloody stuff on point of principle.Quote:

Well I had heard that before. I was curious if there was a factual basis for that. or not. Looks like maybe? Either way, trafficking fat is pretty weird.
I think "maybe" refers to the possibility that this was actually implemented on a mass scale. Look here:
Testimony of Sigmund Mazur before the International Military Tribunal in Nurenberg in the case of Danzig Anatomical Institute - Wikisource
you will find that at least 400 corpses where desecrated in the process.
Well even if it is not tallow I got too much and a few bars of soap would be made from me
So theoretically then, I could go for a bit of lipo and then have some clever fella make me a batch of Stubear soap..? Made from real Stubear?
Which I would then use to lather my face. Brings a whole new meaning to the expression a*se about face doesnt it..! :-)
I could think of a few other human waste products that you could use on a daily basis - for several purposes. I would not use human ANYTHING to put on my face, or for that matter any other part of my body. I find the concept deeply disturbing in the very least, possibly dangerous, and seriously tasteless. IMHO.
Wikipedia depends on the authors too much.
70 to 80 KG of fat make 100 to 120 KG of soap.Quote:
...........testified that soap had been made from corpse fat at the camp, and claimed that 70 to 80 kg of fat collected from 40 bodies could produce more than 25 kg of soap, and that the finished soap was retained by..........
Wasn't italian prime minster Berlusconi having a liposuction and a soap made off the remnants?
I guess its all based on the theory that similar always reacts best on similar.
Which does not really apply on soap.
Why diet and exercise when you can have soap made out of your excess weight? What a conversation piece!
"Have a nice shower this morning, random woman I picked up at a bar? Oh, you like the soap I keep in there? Makes your skin feel so soft, does it? Where did I get it, eh? Oh, I made it myself."
they say that margerine is only one molucule away from being plastic, when i heard that, i made the switch to butter, nothing else will work in my house. i dont want to eat plasticQuote:
