Fast-food and commercial baked goods consumption and the risk of depression

"According to a recent study headed by scientists from the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and the University of Granada, eating commercial baked goods (fairy cakes, croissants, doughnuts, etc.) and fast food (hamburgers, hotdogs, and pizza) is linked to depression... Concerning the consumption of commercial baked goods, the results are equally conclusive. "Even eating small quantities is linked to a significantly higher chance of developing depression," as the university researcher from the Canary Islands points out."

The link between fast food and depression has been confirmed eurekalert.org.

In the gallery to the right of the intro, where it shows a Margherita pizza, please replace the image as File:Pizza-3007395.jpg and put a general caption there as “pizza”. Many fast food pizzerias do not serve Margherita pizza and they are more timely in terms of preparation. 2600:100C:A20E:2:7D90:29BB:8000:5DDF (talk) 19:48, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: we're just showing a Margherita pizza, we're not saying that most pizzerias serve it, though it's fair to assume that they do given it's by far the most basic and the cheapest to make. M.Bitton (talk) 22:31, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: Most fast food places I know do indeed not serve this type of pizza, but I'm also American so I have the least globalized opinion of most developed nations.^[Humor] That aside, I concur that the image is harmless and simply serves to show a type of fast food. The specificness of the name is out of Wikipedia's desire for accuracy, just like how the sandwich is marked as a Submarine sandwich rather than just Sandwich. —Sirdog (talk) 04:57, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Are soft drinks considered fast food? If so, why? (5 pts)

Why are soft drinks, e.g. Coca-Cola with ice, considered fast food? Are drinks considered food? If so, why are other drinks such as tap water and sparkling natural water not considered fast food? It takes the same amount of time to acquire Coke, Sprite, or tap water from the tap. Ponggie (talk) 11:11, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So, I would like to remove soft drinks from the example of fast food. Ponggie (talk) 11:13, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
