Who asked bitch? Shut your dumb ass up. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] msokiovt@lemmy.today -27 points 7 months ago (1 child) This is true, however, most don't want to use their value from what I've read. Depression's biggest factor has to do with food (most people eat food with more than three ingredients in it, of which is man-made; and Jack Spirko would call it feed). In my experience with it, I had a Vitamin B1 deficiency, which caused me to be pretty severe (nowadays, I'm suspicious I have functional depression) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Fluke@feddit.uk 12 points 7 months ago Most don't want to contribute their value to a system that is designed to harvest that value for a 3rd party's benefit, and dump the shredded carcass for nature to finish with. That is grossly oversimplifying one contributing factor to depression, while neglecting to even mention other physical and mental environmental factors. (See "1.") permalink fedilink source parent
