What is the definition of fat?!


Question: I don't mean clinically obese, or overweight or high BMI etc.. how do you define what is or is not fat?

for example, friends will be kinder than strangers, but is there a way of understanding this empirically or is it all subjective?

I personally think a person is fat (to look at) when theyre weight looks out of propotion to their height and bone structure.

Technically i would think of a person as " fat" when their bmi is on the mid to higher end of overweight, but also taking their muscle mass into account also.

I think to an extent its subjective, different people look at it in different ways.

Fat people are those who contains too much fat in them :-)
