Well, all do, because they contain lots of calories (about 9 a gram)

But Trans fat is the worst, strongly promoting weight gain (especially in the abdomen), increasing "bad" cholesterol and decreasing "good cholesterol", with possible brain damage (still being studied)

Short answer: if a person absorbs more calories than are used up during any one day, the body stores them, and these can be converted into fat. Somone who works at a desk typically needs less calories than a person who does construction work; assuming no exercise at a gym, if both eat 6,000 calories per day the desk worker will retain more than the construction worker. Foods that are high in refined sugar or saturated fat are likely to put a person over the daily limit quite quickly as it takes the body time to break them down. Having said this, metabolism must be taken into account; whilst it can be raised due to regular exercise, some people appear to have a naturally high metabolic rate and thus remain slim even though they are sedentary and consume a significant amount of calories.

What is the definition of Saturated fat?

With organic compounds, you can have carbon atoms bonded together with single bonds, double bonds, and triple bonds. If all of the carbon bonds in a fat are single bonds, the fat is saturated. If one of the bonds is a double bond, it is mono-unsaturated. If more than one bond is unsaturated, it is polyunsaturated. Sometimes industries add hydrogen to a double bond and make it hydrogenated. They can add it in one of two ways. They can make it a trans fat or they can make it a cis fat. Nature also hydrogenates fats. Nature makes cis fats. Your body has no problem with cis fats. Nature does not make trans fats. Your body has problems with trans fats. Industries can produce cis fats but find it easier to produce trans fats. Making trans fats illegal will force them to make cis fats.

No. Fat is fat. Ingesting fat will not make you skinny. Food that isn't used for body fuel is stored as fat cells, even more so if the food is full of fats.
