You might call it "thin-fat" if it is flowing easily. (sorry)
Whenever there is something that needs improving in our lives, we get "reported crap" that this is not necessary.
We are getting data that says the food eaten may have something to do with behaviour of children etc, just a "may" till someone evil finds that incorrect diet can be really bad, like smoking. (and another crusade is launched to keep peoples minds off the real issues.)
If overweight is ok, then exercise is out because I twisted my ankle, and I've never done that eating.
