I'm wondering for any of you out there who speak languages other than English... what are the distinctions between someone who is overweight and food fat?

I was thinking about it today. I lived in Austria for a while, and the word for fat (as in fat in food) is 'fett'. But you really wouldn't call someone fett. (And not because you're trying to be polite.) To describe an overweight person you'd use 'dick' which literally means 'thick'. So there is a word for fat you find in foods, and a word for the 'fat' you would use to describe a person.

Is it like this in other languages? Because honestly... would so many people be terrified of fat if it weren't the word we use to describe people who are overweight?

(I'm sure I'm not the first to think of this, but I searched around and couldn't find a thread. So I'm asking everyone else.)
