Extreme obesity

How common is extreme obesity (bmi of 50+) in the general society?

I think in a large city that is very diverse, you will see more obese people. Here in Chicago there are many large obese people. It seems those that are overweight are growing even larger. Go to a local mall or your average restaurant and there are many people in the 300 to 450 lb. range. I am seeing more and more women in my community becoming ever larger. For an FA like me it is pure heaven. And with large women being much more accepted in the Hispanic and African American communities, Chicago has beautiful obese women everywhere.
