I mean yeah, when I’m most depressed I practically live on fruit and veggies. Cheap at the produce stand and takes no effort to prepare, easy calories. You have to cook meat, but not watermelon. Sprinkle some parmesan on canned green beans and boom, that’s dinner. You can leave apples in your room and then you don’t even need to get out of bed to eat! Also bags of chips. Hey, even that’s potatoes though!
But seriously, if a diet “cured depression” it wouldn’t be because it’s full of fruit and veg, it’d be because it’s dynamic and well rounded.
Nobody said “cured,” that’s exaggerating it to make a straw man out of it. “Significantly less likely to suffer from it” is the finding. The people in question may never have even been depressed at all.
