   AK>>> I believe this change has been caused by the fact that   
   AK>>> very many people live in stress, and food  is  a  very

   AK> simplicity! ;-)   
      
   But simplicity is one of the hardest things to  attain.   It   
   is easy to complicate matters, but skull-cracking and brain-   
   cudgelling hard to simplify them!  What,  for  example,  are   
   your  proposals  as to the simplification of your cumbersome   
   sentnece?  Or do you want to improve mine?   
      
   How about this   
      
     I ascribe this to the unwholesome habit of abusing food as   
     an antidepressant.   
      
   AK> BTW:   
   AK> -ubiquitous   
      
   Oh,  I thought it was `ubiquotous' because everyboty "quoth"   
   it :-) Thanks for the correction, Alexander.
