I agree with this, however, we're talking about the two extremes here - the anorexics who are so thin you can see the spaces between their shoulder rotational areas, their spines stick out an inch from the base of their skin. That sort of thing. Skeletal.

Some fat is the natural state of the body. We need fat for energy, but we're evolving.
