One merit of the article is that it recognizes that habits/commitments are better kept when you feel like you've got company (for instance, a friend who also jogs so you either jog together or talk about jogging). It's not necessarily surprising, because as you said, eating is a social activity in many ways, that people form habits similar to the folks around them--but making this explicit does add some motivation to join some sort of fitness/exercise group (as opposed to trying to go it alone).
Of course, there is the other side of it, which is that you will feel ridiculed or uncomfortably conspicuous in a group setting (regardless of body type)....
