If \(K\) is a convex body in the Euclidean plane \(\mathbb{R}^2\) then a point \(z\) is a convexity point of \(K\) if \((K-z)\cup (z-K)\) is convex. The author identifies the locus of the midpoints of all affine diameters of \(K\), called middle hedgehog of \(K\), proving that it is a set having infinitely many exposed points in case of typical convex bodies, in the sense of Baire category. As consequence, the main result is obtained: a typical convex body in the plane has infinitely many convexity points.
