But this shows that theres no eating processed food --> get depressed causation, just a correlation. Otherwise a perfectly happy person who eats a lot of tv dinners would inexplicably get sad with nothing else in their life changing.
I have an appointment with my psychiatrist tomorrow! Yay mental health.
Exactly, I don't want to reject the study personally. Mental health is a complex beast and it was worthwhile to look at, but there is also a lot of stigma around processed foods that I think make something like this very complicated and it doesn't address why people may use the processed food in the first place.
