The peer reviewed article I am going to translate is called "Vaccination Against Weight Gain" and was published on the website for the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (pnas.org). The article outlines new research on a vaccine that has reduced weight gain in lab rats.

The audience I am writing for is educated and aware of the widespread obesity in America and the world. They may not be scientifically savvy but they probably have a basic understanding of scientific principles and a general concern for the health of others, if not themselves. They are likely reading the article for pleasure so I will try to make the topic as entertaining and relevant as possible. I will focus on the state of will power and how the weight gain vaccine is just another step toward total scientific and technological dependence. The vaccine doesn't address the root of the problem, it seeks to forgive the patient. In extreme cases this may be a lifesaving treatment, but I fear that for many it will be just another easy way out in our shortcut society.
