Fat is necessary because when you are starving or very hungry (Say trapped someplace with no food) Your body begins to digest the fats it has in store. Once it runs out of fats, it'll begin taking protein and from the muscles and calcium from the bones. That is also why you get thin and weak if you don't eat, your body is eating itself.
