Research actually shows that those with less fat live longer than those with it, and I think (though I may be wrong) that this is true even when weight-related problems like blood pressure are not taken into account.
A layer of fat is beneficial when you have to deal with harsh weather conditions. Our early ancestors were very probably slightly pudgy fellows with a bit of a beer gut, which was enough to help keep them warm but not enough to slow them down.
But now, with the near-elimination of natural selection in human beings, fat-burning lean folk like myself have been allowed to survive. Not that I'm complaining, of course.

It wouldn't work that way, because the longer the extremely obese person lived, the longer the less-weighty people around him/her would become annoyed, probably resulting in some sort of mob.
And suicide would be a problem, because you can't move fast, do much, etc.

Usually I'd say no, but today I'm just gonna go ahead and say no. Fat drains more energy by taking more energy up to move and can cause complications so it could lead to a shorter life >.>
