I'm not a certified expert (self-taught) but having absolutely no fat is a bad thing according to every health/medical textbook I've read. For women, no fat means no [soft] breast tissue, (if you don't count the pectoral muscles then breasts are at minimum 95% fat) and a total lack of fat may hinder milk production. In both genders, a complete lack of body fat can cause issues with the heart and other organs, as well as bone and joint problems. The healthy body-fat ratios would be 7~9% for men and 12~15% for women, athletes may strive to reduce it even further but risk of health problems climbs sharply below 5%.So he was charging 0.5 tower coin in chapter one for one cherry tomato. Which supposedly translate to 500,000 won to 379.22 USD. That's some expensive tomatoes lol. Their bonus effects are only temporary too
Side note: These magic fruit burn 0.5g of fat when eaten. Which for a city people this effect is amazing (maybe even adventurers). But for someone whos constantly working on a farm and burning fat. This effect is probably detrimental no?
Well, since its a fluff, story it will either get resolved later or more likely the fruit doesnt burn any fat if there is none to burn. But I'm not an expert on this field, is having no fat on your body a bad thing? anyone on this field out there wanna chime in?
Another user replied to me in chapter 12 with a similar question. They mentioned google says 3% for men and 12% for women.The healthy body-fat ratios would be 7~9% for men and 12~15% for women, athletes may strive to reduce it even further but risk of health problems climbs sharply below 5%.
Yeah, I have no doubt that Korean readers are equally concerned about the fact that it's burning fat. Technically, the food could be imbued with added sugars, fat, or whatever fantasy fatinium the writer wants, but most readers are going to very quickly consider the negative ramifications on the main character when the writer says that.Another user replied to me in chapter 12 with a similar question.

So as a quick warning to anybody reading this in the future. Please consult an expert if you approach these numbers. For most people, it seems you'll be fine hovering around 15%. Unless you are an athlete of professional body builder, you probably shouldn't need to approach these numbers.
