   Hi, Ardith Hinton!   
   I read your message from 12.11.2019 00:40   
      
    AH>> Now that you mention it, I think the boy might well have been

   ‘hildren very often have a poor appetite. Their mothers often make them eat   
   their food. The epidemic of excess weight is most likely connected with   
   genetic changes that happen during many years and even generations. I believe   
   this change has been caused by the fact that very many people live in stress,   
   and food is a very effective antidepressant. And people who refused to smoke   
   now have a little choice in replacing it with something else. :)   
      
   Bye, Ardith!
