Seriously, put a fat farm on the top floor of skyscraper, hook up generator to elevator that works when it goes down. Fatties can walk up to top floor, pile into elevator and generate electricity on way down to McDonalds on first floor. Totally sustainable! Any thoughts on this?

I think I found a flaw in your plan.

Well I ain't first class
But I ain't white trash
I'm wild and a little crazy too
I have seen a lot of things in my life time.
That is why I walk the line I walk.

What if gears are put on the McDonalds chairs, when they sit down it turns a crank for an escalator? Fatties could stand their way to the top floor! My renewable electical system just keeps getting better.

Now that's a better idea. It doesn't even have to be physically connected...it can turn a generator and store electricity for general purpose use.

Hmm. McDonalds might buy my fattie chair generators. They could power the shake machine with the fat butts buying them.
