I was listening to the news on television tonight while eating supper and heard a story about how scientists are all excited because they have been working on a special medication, experimenting with lab mice, that would help people lose weight without having to diet or exercise. I think that would be great because there are a lot of people out there that need to lose weight and won’t diet or exercise, for one reason or another.  I’m guessing that it speeds up the metabolism, but the side effects on people are untested and unknown at this point.  I’d love to be able to lose a few pounds without having to do anything but pop a pill!

I was reminded of that story just now because I saw a similar story about the same subject on The New York Times website.  I hope that they develop this soon, there are a lot of obese people out there that could use this kind of help to lose weight!
