To be fair, the bar is set pretty low for fats. The thinner times of their lives were spent yo-yo dieting and becoming fatter. When they reach the 600lb point and forget all hope of losing weight, all that changes is they aren't thinking about the guilt of gaining anymore. From that perspective, and when you have nothing to live for except eating, being unapologetically fat would be better than still being fat (albeit less fat) and also dieting in futility. What you have to remember is that, although this is the best they have ever lived, there are comatose patients who are living lives objectively better than that.
