Pop This Pill with Your Morning Coffee and Have Another Doughnut

Here's some good news for Krispy Kreme's stock price.

The Associated Press is reporting about a new pill that shows you can get the benefits of exercise without working out. It's "a couch potato's dream".

Here are a couple of soundbites from the article:

"Sedentary mice that took the drug for four weeks burned more calories and had less fat than untreated mice. And when tested on a treadmill, they could run about 44 percent farther and 23 percent longer than untreated mice."

"We have exercise in a pill," said Ron Evans, an author of the study. "With no exercise, you can take a drug and chemically mimic it."

Now we can eat even more and exercise even less... one step further on our way to a blissful existence.
