As long as we have enough educated well motivated people to watch the nuclear power plants (and not like homer simpson), and run everything else that requires a sharp well disciplined mind and body, we should be more or less okay. Fats in the military will be less of an issue in a few decades when nearly everything is done by remote. Too many fats in law enforcement can really fuck things up though.

Are they the downfall of humanity? No. But they can easily be the downfall of civilized societies and perhaps cause enough collapse to eventually disrupt global infrastructure, but I don't think we'd ever get to that point. We're much more likely to collapse from the orwellian advance of current feminism and other socially marxist ideological constructs. It could set us all back a few hundred years, but I doubt it would wipe us all out.

We can only fall so far until survival of the fittest comes back into play and people have to actually compete for resources, at which point the obeasts will start dying off and/or be motivated to get fit. That won't happen unless we've fallen so far that people are starving to death and killing each other for resources, which is pretty catastrophic, but it's a lower bound beyond which fat people can't push us below.

Thing is, we only have to fall low enough to trigger nuclear annihilation. That's a lot less farther down than survival of the fittest.
