Reply to comment by Reasonable-Umpire-93 in Eli5 what is it in the food of fast food restaurants that makes it bad e.g. being linked to cancer / mental problems. Does it have a negative impact on the gut flora? I’m not talking like sugary food more like actual food KFC- chicken, McDonald’s beef patty etc by Reasonable-Umpire-93

Correlation is not the same as Causation

Felix, buddy. You asked him why he thought fast food was linked to mental health. And he told you why.

He didn’t really suggest causation. He explained where he had read that they are potentially linked.

Are you always this condescending to five year olds?

Unless the comment has been edited, correlation not being equal to causation is a reasonable answer in my opinion.

Haha. That’s totally fair. I’m not gonna lie, I had rage toward my boss earlier and had to smile through it. It mayyyyy have influenced my commentary. IWTA
