Sounds like u have a severe problem and your desperate so you're looking high and low for solutions that you'll never find. Good luck.

food for thought - anything that provides mental stimulus for thinking

Is something that requires cogitation, needs thinking about. Like sitting to digest a good meal befor racing around , something that feeds the mind with further quetsions and answers, stimulates it to higher levels of thought. Your question could be regarded as food for thought, a good little appetiser anyway.
