Fat is a lay term used to describe a variety of organic compounds that help to make up the composition of organisms. In sciences, fats are usually referred to as lipids.
People who are excessively fat suffer from obesity. People who are not excessively fat are often referred to as thin. People who have changed their eating habits to lose weight so they can shift from the fat category to the thin category are often said to be on a diet.
Animals in nature rarely get fat, as they are too busy foraging for food to be able to accumulate the amount of fat stores needed to be considered fat.
