Laziness is in your genes

Hey, if you're lazy it may not be your fault.

It could be just part of your genetic makeup.

This is according to J. Timothy Lightfoot, a kinesiologist, and his team at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte.

Apparently, Mr. Lightfoot and his team have done some preliminary studies in mice that suggest that activity levels may be connected to your genes.

So, if this is true, it truly isn't your fault if you decide not to exercise. You may have some predisposed genetic issue that doesn't allow you to get off that couch and go to the gym – or even for a walk.

I'm sure this incredible revelation is going to help reduce the obesity problem in the United States.

And, of course, there will be some sort of pill created to combat this problem.

I wonder what they will come up with next.

The Wizard has spoken.
