The human fat being uncommented upon brings to mind deceased organ transplants as an attitude counterpart - it is for healing and the dead are beyond help.
Of course ironically they had issues with dissection sourcing for theological reasons so it was likely more "draining the fat or embalming doesn't count as defiling".
The real crucial difference ethically is that organ transplants are actually effective as opposed to consuming human fat. Using human body parts for something frivolous like fashion would draw far more objections.
