It's true that the connection between depression and vegetarianism is only supported by epidemiology and plausible mechanisms. One must be cautious with those.

Actually, the epidemiological evidence about vegetarianism is extremely inconclusive (handful of studies showing both positive and negative depression outcomes). As well as that, there's some experimental evidence that veg diets can improve depression outcomes

Hence the ridiculousness. Current best evidence would seem to indicate (albeit weakly) that vegetarian/vegan dietary interventions would improve depression scores Imo that's almost entirely through improving the general quality of people's diets, but even so

Thank you. I hadn't seen that yet. In a (very cursory) scan through it, I only see the reports of positive associations between depression and vegetarianism, though, not a suggestion that there might be a benefit, but I'll look again when I have a little more time.

The systematic review is a very good place to start. I've found 6 obs studies altogether, 3 positive and 3 negative, as well as a handful of RCTs of variable quality

It's my understanding that Felice Jacka has found that red meat is a critical factor for avoiding depression. It might be described in here: https://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/doi/full/10.1176/appi.ajp.2009.09060881 …. If that's not the one I'll dig for it later. As to plausible mechanisms, though,

I don't think that's what that particular study says, but I'll defer to @FeliceJacka
