   Hi, Anton Shepelev!   
   I read your message from 13.11.2019 15:16   
      
    AK>> Their mothers often make them eat their food. 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

   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!
