Interesting science.

But I must say that this sounds like people want to live sedentary lives, get ferried around by machines rather than propel themselves, eat crap, and generally lead unhealthy lives...

And then avoid the consequences of all those choices by taking a pill that some corporation cooked up in a lab.

I can't wait to see what side-effects the corporate pills cause in those who pay for them.
