The epidemic of        AK>> excess weight is most likely connected with genetic changes that        AK>> happen during many years and even generations.               AS> I think it is rather due to indulgence in the vice of gluttony. And        AS> fast carbohydrates are the most palatable.               AK>> I believe this change has been caused by the fact that very many        AK>> people live in stress, and food is a very effective        AK>> antidepressant.               AS> The ubiquotous "the fact that" is exceedingly cumbersome and wont        AS> to appear whenever the author has given insufficient thought to        AS> arranging the sentence. I avoid it at all costs, together with the        AS> fused participle, e.g. "due to many people's living in constant        AS> stress."              Be simpler! If you can say an idea in a simple way it is not necessary blame       yourself. Greatness is in simplicity! ;-)       BTW:       -ubiquitous               AK>> And people who refused to smoke now have a little choice in        AK>> replacing it with something else. :)               AS> And people who *have* ceased smoking now have *but* little choice        AS> *of* replacements.              IMHO "stopped" is better than "ceased". ;)               AS> My correctios are amentable to correction from other readers!              -corrections       -amendable              Bye, Anton!       Alexander Koryagin       english_tutor 2019              ---        * Origin: nntps://fidonews.mine.nu - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/360.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 123 15/2 16/0 90/1 120/544 123/130 131 203/0 221/1 6       SEEN-BY: 221/360 227/114 229/354 426 1014 240/1120 2100 5138 5832       SEEN-BY: 240/5853 249/206 317 261/38 280/5003 317/3 320/119 219 322/0       SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 423/81 640/1384 2454/119       PATH: 221/1 320/219 240/5832 229/426           |
