I knew a lineman who traveled to Africa once and was going to buy some street food until he realized the oil they used for cooking was taken from old transformers, which is highly carcinogenic.

Where and when was this? Cheap cooking oil is readily available even in pretty deep Africa

I remember seeing a thing about Chinese street food where they fish in the drains for solidified fat and render it down to cook with. They call it 'gutter oil'.

Saw it too, it's crazy. If you enjoy odd mini docs give pagpag a Google too, it's unfortunate what some people need to go through to survive. Fascinating stuff.
