the body's loyal banker, hoarding energy for a famine that never comes
means Having an excess of body fat, or more generally being thick, plump, or abundant — also the greasy substance itself.
from From Old English 'fǣtt,' originally the past participle of 'fǣtan' (to cram or load up), so the word literally meant 'stuffed full.' It belongs to a wider Germanic family — a cousin of Dutch 'vet' and German 'fett' — all circling the idea of being richly filled with grease.
