What if...

... the evidence that shows
"fatness" resembles a communicable disease is just representing that fat folks tend to like fat folks and skinny folks tend to like skinny folks?

Exceptions abound, obviously, but there seems to be a correlation/causation thing here.

I mean, one 130lb person around a dozen 360lb persons seems as awkward as one 360lb person around a dozen 130lb persons.

On the other hand, if you have five 300lb men around one 250lb man, you've got an NFL QB and his O-Line entourage.

The one 6' person surrounded by four 6'5" and over persons is a point guard.
The one 6' person surrounded by four 5'9" persons is a center.

If content is king,
context is everything.
