You have some good notes here. Could you include a link to the articles you read? I think it will help you later when you're writing your news stories. Here are some other questions I have about your notes:
1. The guy who is short and fat - did the researchers do any other tests to measure his health? For example, does he have high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, etc.? Is he fat, but healthy? Or does he exercise a lot and is fat and unhealthy despite his efforts?
2. Can you describe the experiment more clearly? Who was involved? For how long? What did they do?
If you decided to write an article about exercise for the final paper, what other information might you need? I think you might want to find some more information about the benefits of exercise.
Good start!

Hi Health team! I found this article while reading online this morning http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27426596/?GT1=43001

It's about how people may actually gain weight during a recession because they want to eat cheap "comfort food". Maybe you'll be interested in reading more about it.
