it hardly takes a brain surgeon to realise that people with depression will indulge in their comfort foods more often. Doritos don’t lead to depression; depression leads to doritos.
So again, why is this SO obvious to you while it’s unthinkable that eating well may be good for you? Any evidence whatsoever that this is the direction the causal arrow points? Or just snappy phrases like “it doesn’t take a brain surgeon to realize…?”
If I am going to take your argument in good faith, I need you to explain why you think I’m saying healthy eating isn’t good for you. I will also need you to explain why “good for you” means “prevents depression” when the article itself says that isn’t the case. I will need some acknowledgement of my “sad people eat comfort food” argument I have made in clear terms multiple times. Lastly, I will need you to apply the same question of “why is it so obvious” and snide remarks at “it doesn’t take a ___ to realise” phrases to the comment directly above mine that did the exact same thing.
Because right now, it feels like you aren’t even reading my comments.
I will need some acknowledgement of my “sad people eat comfort food” argument I have made in clear terms multiple times.
Oh it’s bright and clear as day that you hold this stereotype of depression to be a proven fact, yet it’s nothing but your dearly held stereotype. This is not a factual description of depression at large suitable to tip the interpretation of some experimental data. I’m much more persuaded by the mountain of scientific evidence that fresh fruits and vegetables benefit health. Your argument is based on cultural stereotypes.
My argument was in response to a cultural stereotype, and informed by people I know in real life. My best friend has ARFID, and suffered depression. But thank you for ignoring most of my comment and proving you aren’t arguing in good faith. It’ll save me a lot of time this evening.
It’s exactly what you fucking said, right here:
