We all know the pictures of the astronauts on the ISS floating around. We also suspect that a lack of gravity is bad for the body as the muscles go weak and such.

Why don't spaceships just rotate to cause the effect of artificial gravity through centrifugal forces?

I guess thats why, in sci fi it's only used on ring shaped objects. A ship with a ring around its mid section, or a space station, or the expanse has a barrel shaped ship.
