Diet affects mental health

Saw this . Whilst I don't doubt that mental health issues are far more complex than just diet alone, I personally believe that diet must play some factor.

As a whole, I believe that too many people are nutritionally starving because they are ingesting too many foods that do not provide their nutritional needs. I always hear people say that process foods are cheaper than fresh fruit and veg but from my personal experience, I know that is not true.

Time is a factor that is used as an excuse for not eating freshly prepared food but surely if you are organised, you can prepare food in advance and heat it up when required. For example, last evening, I made a chicken curry and a chicken casserole for dinner tonight and tomorrow. I have twin boys (age 22 months), work 3 days a week and I always cook and freeze meals so that I don't have to worry about doing it on the days I am working. Please do not think that I am being smug because I'm not. I just don't understand why one has to have a really poor diet these days,particularly with all the information that is around.

What do you think?
