I'm not disagreeing with you there, but I would argue that the damage done is on a respective curve, once you get past a certain point it would increase the damage, but only minimally compared to farther down the chart.
You also have to realise by the time they reach the level of being morbidly obese there is already an issue there which exists and that if they haven't stopped themselves from getting to that point, why would they stop now?
It's not like a 700 lb person goes, 'give me three buckets of chicken, six burgers, two pizzas, oh and a diet coke because I am worried about my weight now that I am past the point of being morbidly obese'.
