I dont doubt that they will be able to create the metabolic effect of exercise in pill form, It is just chemistry really, and replacing the treadmill shouldnt be too difficult. I havent stepped on a treadmill in years. But what will be forgotten is the other benefits of exercise and movement. One example is that creating complex movements within exercise is a major player in keeping the brain healthy, it helps create and repair connections within the brain, which helps with memory, keep you alert and sane. So If you believe that obesity is the only problem associated with inactivity then you are barking up the wrong tree and if we rely on pills then it may make people thinner but not healthier in my opinion. telegraph.co.uk/news/science/science-news/11280150/Obesity-pill-to-replace-treadmill-being-developed-by-Harvard-University.html
