More and more people concern about their weight in such a society with the aesthetically standard of pursuing never-ending lean. But what distressful is the fact that more and more people are getting overweight of late. When I casually browsed the Mail Online recently, the article concerning the relationship of the obesity and DNA drawn me significantly.The article reveals a new finding which was conducted by Dr Tamas Horvath of Yale University School of Medicine that the 'propensity for obesity' may be hardwired into the brain while we are in the womb. It's a good release to the crowd who struggle with every pound revealed on the scale!
About the content
The author smartly begins with an exaggerative and humorous situation which most of the fatty will come across in order to attract readers' eyeballs. To be more convincing, the article quotes a study of Dr Tamas Horvath in Yale University School and detailed the experiment about this study: using a group of laboratory rats bred to be vulnerable to obesity, through this experiment, the article explains academically how the brain works to decide when to stop eating and when to do exercise, then it comes an explanation why those who once developed obesity have a harder time losing weight. 
Besides the finding from Dr Horvath, there are startling figures of comparison between the obese people in Britain from 1980 to 2000, then estimate a further data in 2020 according the prevalent trend. From this side, I think figures always are the best persuasive evidence to prove a perspective. In the end, the article also mentions about the general reasons from diet experts. About the format
As known to all, pictures always are the first element that people notice in an online article,
this story has two pictures, one is a lean person's backside and the other is a fatty's belly, the manifest comparison between these two pictures induces readers more easily understand the topic of this article.

Nevertheless, from my angle, the frame of this coverage is too narrow that people will be easily distracted by the advertisement or the hyperlink of other news in the left and right columns. Besides, another confusion of myself is that the hyperlinks of this article for further information are put in the middle of this article, readers will be mislead by these links then go to other news and forget to finish this story!
There's an interaction section of this news, it allows readers to give their comments of this article, in which people can acquaint others' opinions. This is also my favorite section.
