  • Really what they want is a way to narrow down candidates at the end of the day.

    The unfortunate part is that these methods are often the things that actually prevent diverse workforces.

    Recruiting from expensive ivy league schools rather than state schools guarantees that you end up with a similar ethnic and gender make-up as those schools.

    It doesn’t guarantee that you’re getting more qualified or harder working candidates.

    Usually something as simple as getting your recruiters to focus their efforts elsewhere is what will increase your company’s diversity, without having to change any other aspect of your hiring process.















  • They said this:

    The point is that that ultra-processed or unhealthy foods increase the risk for depression in the general public.

    The study we are talking about literally says this:

    Despite extensive data linking ultraprocessed foods (UPF; ie, energy-dense, palatable, and ready-to-eat items) with human disease,4 evidence examining the association between UPF consumption and depression is scant.

    We are talking about a study that in its opening paragraph, with sources, contradicts what they, as a random internet stranger claiming to be a medical professional, are claiming as the truth.

    I, for one, am going to side with the study over the person making claims with no evidence. Even a study that I think will cause people like you and the other person to act in foolish, unscientific, and very harmful ways.

    Anyway, you should go back to reddit with that attitude. Or downvote and move on. You added nothing of value here and were a jerk for absolutely no reason.



  • The statement they made, which I quoted, IS NOT BASED ON DECADES OF RESEARCH! It is based on their assumptions and the headline in this article.

    The study we are talking about makes it very clear in its first paragraph that there has been little-to-no prior research on the effects of processed foods and depression.

    Despite extensive data linking ultraprocessed foods (UPF; ie, energy-dense, palatable, and ready-to-eat items) with human disease,4 evidence examining the association between UPF consumption and depression is scant.

    It is literally the justification for this specific study having been done at all.

    This study only involved middle-aged white women (95% of participants) who didn’t suffer from depression at the start of the study. It measured incident depression over the course of 15 years and correlated that with various processed food categories.

    That person making the statement that processed foods increase the chance of depression in the general public is doing exactly what I was trying to get people to not do, which is turn this headline into false assumptions and unhelpful advice about general depression.

    I hate these reddit moments.



  • The point is that that ultra-processed or unhealthy foods increase the risk for depression in the general public.

    This is you, making a false statement that is about the study OP posted, not general “not arguable” bodies of knowledge.

    This is harmful, not helpful.

    Edit: for those downvoting me, the quote from the person before me is NOT based on decades of non arguable research. It is only based on their opinions, biases, and the headline OP posted.

    The study we are discussing opening paragraph says the following:

    Despite extensive data linking ultraprocessed foods (UPF; ie, energy-dense, palatable, and ready-to-eat items) with human disease,4 evidence examining the association between UPF consumption and depression is scant.

    Unless this random internet person knows more than these researchers, then I’d say that this person is doing the exact harmful thing I was trying to prevent.
