Swift's solution to the problems of Ireland was for peasants to sell their children to be eaten by the rich. This was satire.
In the USA a cosmetic surgeon has got himself in a pickle by actually putting into practice another far-sighted scheme. He has been using the fat produced by liposuction to drive his cars.
"One gallon of fat will produce a gallon of "lipodiesel", and I've been using it for months to power my Ford Navigator and my girlfriend's Lincoln Navigator"
Sadly several patients have filed lawsuits against him alleging unprofessional conduct.
