I knew that was a good diet for mental health.

Doesn’t matter. I know women who eat right and when Herr kenyan comes on TV, they get depressed.

I’ve never seen Obama on TV. Why would I do that to myself? We have all of “Magnum, P.I.” on DVD.

Not a pasta person so guess that is why I am never depressed. On the other hand I have a friend who is a pasta nut, eats tons of it and is on every drug there is for depression.
Guess that nails it. Study done. lol

>>> women who consumed more wine, coffee and vegetables

The snob factor alone would scare ‘depression’ away.

I remember a lawsuit many years ago of an ex-wife suing her former husband, a medical doctor. After they were estranged, but before they were divorced, she asked him for medical advice to help her lose weight. He advised her to adopt an “all pasta diet”.

She was suing him for malpractice, as this diet, and her lack of self-awareness, resulted in her gaining close to 100 pounds.

I keep The Rockford Files, Kojak, and The Streets Of San Francisco plus Cannon DVDs around if the wun is on at home. For some reason my spousal unit doesn’t think that he is as evil as I do. She isn’t a fan of his and didn’t vote for him.
