PROBLEMS WE HADN'T STARTED WORRYING ABOUT YET

BBC - Four people have been arrested in Peru on suspicion of killing dozens of people in order to sell their fat and tissue for cosmetic uses in Europe.

The gang allegedly targeted people on remote roads, luring them with fake job offers before killing them and extracting their fat.

The liquidized product fetched $15,000 a liter and police suspect it was sold on to companies in Europe.

At least five other suspects, including two Italian nationals, remain at large.

Police said the gang could be behind the disappearances of up to 60 people in Peru's Huanuco and Pasco regions.

This does not sound very reasonable. At 15K/liter of body fat, liposuction would be free.

If there was indeed a demand for human fat, companies in Europe would be able to buy all of the adipose tissue they wanted from cosmetic surgeons.

Perhaps the CIA is training for more renditions.
