The government should not be involved, but trans fats are really bad for you.
I'm not disputing that. I'm saying there is almost no trans-fat in any fast food restaurant in America in the year 2011. It's all been purged. This notion that fast food is loaded with trans-fat is just flat-out not true any more. Burger King was the last hold-out and they stopped using trans-fat more than 2 years ago.
I worked at Burger King in the 1980's and we used vegetable shortening in the deep fryer, and margarine in the breakfast products. Those had trans-fat in them, but at the time, they were thought to be healthy fats, because they were not animal-based. (Some other restaurants used beef tallow, which was thought to be a step up from pig lard).

Lost over 10 lbs. and have never eaten clam chowder since.
Too bad. 5 more bowls and you could have written a best-selling diet book.

What depressed person wants to spend the time to cook a healthy meal? You are on to something. When my SADs kicks in I either eat what comes to hand or don't eat at all.
However I have found if I eat healthy (Light on refined sugar and refined flour, heavy on the lean meats and veggies) the rest of the time that the episodes seem to be lighter. Same with exercise. If I can get myself in the rhythm of light exercise daily SADs doesn't hit as hard or as heavy when it does hit.
The thing is that making those changes after depression hits is pretty close to impossible without help. You just don't care enough to do anything that takes any extra effort. However, bad eating, bad sleeping habits and no exercise will not cause depression. It just weakens you so you are more susceptible.

I think that eating a lot of crap food and not getting enough decent meat and protein can definitely make one depressed. I feel horrible when I eat junk carbs—I can’t think, I slow down, I get waterlogged, feel sluggish, etc.

It really does not matter if its a disease or a disorder.
The reason Dr. call it a disease is because it fall into the definition of a disease.
1 Trearable
2 Predictable
3 Progressive.
Like i said names, definition really makes no difference. But it is real and can be deadly.

SAD is a summer disease.
In the winter, I can kick back, read and FReep, and enjoy the long, dark nights, snuggled in a warm, comfy bed.
I have so much “extra” work to do in the summer, just the though depresses me:
Firewood cutting & splitting; fence mending; plowing, planting, weeding, irrigating, harvesting; building/roofing repairs & painting; pruning; repairing/regrading the ranch roads....
Thank goodness the days are longer, or I’d never get it all done.

Yes names do make a difference. People who get drunk are not the victims of a disease either.
The culture of excuses CAUSES these problems.
