"Well how about that...nature's lipo-suction!"

In a way, I suppose that's what's happening.

Too damned bad there wasn't something we humans could ingest that'd spring to life & begin devouring fat, eh?

That's the thing, given all medicine can do these days they still cannot cure a common cold, grow hair on a bald head, or devise such a potion.

...~sigh~
