Chilean artist Marco Evaristti (left) presented his friends with his newest creation on Thursday night: Meatballs cooked with fat from his own body, extracted by liposuction.

'Ladies and gentleman, bon appetit and may God bless,' said Evaristti, a glass in his hand, to his dining companions seated around a table at the Animal Gallery in Chile's capital, Santiago.

On the plates in front of them was a serving of agnolotti pasta and in the middle, a meatball made with the fat that Evaristti had removed from his body last last year.

'You are not a cannibal if you eat art,' he added. He described it as a criticism of the plastic surgery market.

Confronting: Marco Evaristti once exhibited and invited visitors to press the buttons.

Evaristti produced 48 meatballs from his own fat, some of which will be canned and sold for US$4,000 ($6,200) for 10. Two cans have already been sold to collectors for US$23,200 each.

ok, his other works sounded very cool... this, however, is pretty disgusting and not very artful.
 
I rememver one artist in the 60's made a bunch of labeled cans with his own feces in it. He didn't ACTUALLY consider it art; he was just making a form of sarcasm about the stupidity of some of the supposedly "meaningful" art. What surprised him is after people found out about it, THEY ACTUALLY WANTED TO BUY IT. Over the years a sealed can has gotten rarer, as the gases inside over the last few decades have caused some of the cans to pop open. Mmm, mmm, nothing goes better with dinner then feces in a can!

meatballs are ground beef, i guess you could add a bit of fat to some lean meat and toss it in the grinder.
stuff like sausages aren't all lean meat either you know. lotta fat for that sweet flavor
