The fact that this is being looked into is interesting to me...after all, the internet is an expanding source of information, entertainment, and enough to allow a minimal amount of human interaction. Who knows, but in my opinion, I believe that if you are already on the verge of being depressed, the internet acts as an "escape" for a judge-free zone. A one-way communication path for all to enjoy.

I have observed various degrees of depression in people for decades now and depression seems to have 2 things in common: 1)Idle hands...by using the hands whether in work or by constructing something the individual gets out of their head, and back into the "real" physical world. 2) Outdoors...I rarely see depressed people going out for long walks, sucking in fresh air and oxygen...instead they wallow in their pain from the confines of their stale air abode.
 
"Bread has been proven to absorb water. Since the human body is more than 90 percent water, it follows that eating bread could lead to your body being taken over by this absorptive food product, turning you into a soggy, gooey bread-pudding person."

lol, if I had been drinking something it would be all over my monitor right now.
