  This is, without a doubt, the most in depth deep dive into the weeds on the early portion of this battle i&apos;ve ever seen.I can&apos;t tell you how much I appreciate it because it&apos;s really plugging a lot of holes in the knowledge that I already had. A word about starvation and malnutrition. I grew up in the coal towns of west virginia, and my dad was a miner and I was pulled out of school in the eighth grade to go work the mines. There were 6 of us kids 2 boys 4 girls<br>And it was me and my brother in the mines. 12/14 hour days.<br>Barely enough to eat on a good day. What you said about malnutrition and starvation, lowering a person&apos;s morale, is hitting it right on the head and that bit about malnutrition opening the door for all kinds of illnesses.That to. The only thing I learned during those years was there was no way in hell I was going to end up like my dad, with his black lung,<br>and living in such abject poverty. I ran away from home at 16. And went up north and lived with &nbsp;friends family, and it was like a light switch went on for me. I could see the possibilities before me. And with the help of this wonderful family that was so supportive I finished school, went to college,<br>and became a veterinarian. The moral of my story is anything is possible as long as you keep your head up, put one foot in front of the other and don&apos;t let life, poverty, or lack of food define you. Because then you&apos;ll have given up.

  The two of you interacting so naturally is really soothing. It&apos;s nice to see the smiles and hear the laughs you show every now and then. I don&apos;t quite understand the content of the conversation yet, but your light and lively talk, full of warmth, is really relaxing.
