The author describes him as "gray"...        AH>> perhaps suggesting he hadn't bathed for awhile, and "scrawny"...        AH>> perhaps suggesting he didn't get enough to eat.        AK>> Do you think that scrawny children have nothing to eat?               AH> Not necessarily... but many others seem to think so. If the boy was        AH> between the ages of six & sixteen it's possible he was at a stage        AH> of growth in which he was becoming taller very quickly & the rest        AH> of his body hadn't caught up yet. It's also possible that, like one        AH> of my cousins, he had inherited the ectomorph body type from his        AH> father & grandfather. In my experience those who rely heavily (!)        AH> on cheap carbohydrates are more likely to be overweight.: - Q              ‘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!       Alexander Koryagin       english_tutor 2019              ---        * Origin: nntps://fidonews.mine.nu - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/360.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 90/1 203/0 221/0 1 6 360 227/114 229/354 426 1014       SEEN-BY: 240/100 1120 1634 2100 5138 5832 5853 8001 8002 8005 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/317 261/38 280/5003 5006 313/41 317/3 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 335/364 342/200 382/147 423/81 2454/119       PATH: 221/1 6 1 280/5003 240/1120 5832 229/426           |
