Wow, this is quite the story! People were killed for their fat which was then sold to cosmetic companies.Even more bizarre is that the group committing the murders took their gang name from an ancient Peruvian legend of killers who also were after fat.
Why were ancient Peruvians so interested in human fat?
Scary to say the least. Reminds me of the movie "Silence of the Lambs" where that psycho killed plus size women for their skin. And one has to wonder what do doctors do with the fat from liposuction operations?? Surely the doctors don't throw the fat out, as doctors want to make a buck every way they can.
ReplyDeleteTo say that fat isn't lucrative in the "black market" is one who wants to keep their head stuck in the sand and pretend that such evil doesn't exist in society. As usual, money is the root of all evil.
