    Being the same word confuses people and you can tell they have no idea how things work. They think the fat from food literally just passes right into your body parts and fat stores without being processed

    Growing up in the 80s when everything went fat free was a nightmare and made everyone, ironically, get fat

      I mean, they are the same word because they are the same thing: lipids.

      However, the relation of fats to eachother inside a body as storage and outside as calorie intake ARE two different things.
