Not a bad point, but I'd say that the idea that there might be vegetarian diets that could be harmful isn't particularly strong theoretically as support for the idea that vegetarian diets cause depression. A bit like saying that meat is bad because wild-rabbit-only diets are bad
Haha sure, but I think the mechanism is more speculative than plausible at the very least, and generally the epidemiological evidence doesn't really support the claim, so...

But in that case the epidemiological evidence is very consistently protective/beneficial. You can discount the evidence, sure, but that's different from the studies not showing the effect you're arguing for at all
