   Chubby mice became couch potatoes

   When researchers fattened mice up on high-fat chow, they saw the   
   activity of a specific class of dopamine receptor in the brain’s   
   striatum (a center of movement control and reward-seeking behavior)   
   fall. Along with that change, they observed that the obese mice   
   adopted more sedentary habits than their lean peers.

   Footnote - Let's see, since there is "No rest for the wicked," then   
   couch potatoes are saving societies billions and billions, while the   
   wicked are afoot..
