The New England Journal of Medicine study only studied half of the possible equation in stating that people who socialize with fat people stand a 57 percent chance of becoming fat themselves ["If Your Friends Are Fat, Watch Out," usnews.com].

Could it also be true that fat people who socialize with thin people stand a 57 percent chance of becoming thin?
