This would enable the release of large amounts of energy from small amounts of fat--the 8.26 grams of fat in Grilled Tex-Mex Vegetables would, by Einstein's energy-mass equivalence...
...course, some rather mundane explanations might be offered. Dining Services could be employing the same accountant as the Undergraduate Council, in which case 40,000 pounds of pure fat will soon be "discovered" beneath the floor-boards of University Hall...
