Us animals store fat to save the extra energy for later. Unfortunately, there’s plenty of food around, so that fat storage isn’t really needed. Instead of storing fat on our bodies, I’d like the ability to lay “fat eggs”. I could store them in the cupboard if I think I might need them for later, otherwise down the garbage disposal they go.

Don't throw your "fat eggs" down the disposal. Collect them and make biodiesel to power vehicles. If you don't want to burn those calories yourself, contribute them to be burned to produce power, and reduce the need for foreign oil.

Human fat can be turned into fine soap, too.

OK that's just not acceptable as humor.

producing power from stored fat ... ... that brings us back to the initial idea of doing exercise in order to burn extra fat ^^"

I thought it would be funny, if fat liposuctioned off could be refined in such a way that it can be administered to starving nations. Air drops of food often end up on the black market and never reach their intended destination. If a red-cross worker had to be there to administer a fat IV, then you could ensure that starving people get the vital fat they need. I can picture a overweight politician getting this done, so they can say they litterally gave a part of them selves to the starving nations of the world. You hit 2 birds with one stone. Here people die of too much fat, where other places, not enough. This would even the odds, and make lipo-suction available to the general fat people of the US. You could have this done like giving blood.

Speaking of medical liposuction, it could be the answer to the "fat epidemic" the FDA, or some Government agency issued a while ago. McDonalds could offer coupons or doctor referalls for their customers. It could also be a incentive for people to not live off of food stamps. Say you have 6 months of food stamps, after that you have to go on the IV or get a real job, (unless otherwise you can't because of medical reasons, or you are a stay at home mom). Seriously, that could cut down on food stamp fraud at least. Kidding aside, I think this is worth looking into.
