Abstract
Interestingly, Lee and Allen's article showed that healthy food consumption (fruits and vegetables), but not unhealthy food consumption (fast food and soft drinks), was related to depression among young adults. This is a meaningful finding because unhealthy and healthy foods were included in a single model. Previous studies generally considered healthy and unhealthy food consumption separately.

As young adults commonly consume unhealthy foods such as fast food and soft drinks, it is possible that unhealthy foods might not influence depression among young adults
Summary
Lee and Allen’s article showed that healthy food consumption (fruits and vegetables), but not unhealthy food consumption (fast food and soft drinks), was related to depression among young adults. This is a meaningful finding because unhealthy and healthy foods were included in a single model. Previous studies generally considered healthy and unhealthy food consumption separately (e.g., [10,11]). Lee and Allen’s study considered four types of healthy and unhealthy foods. Recognizing the gender differences in depression and food consumption in young adulthood, Lee and Allen’s study sheds light on future mental health and nutrition policies targeted toward young adults
