People who eat more vegetables are happier

Now, we’re not saying that eating vegetables will make you happy, and we’re not saying that happy people tend to eat a lot of vegetables. But it does appear, from a recent study of 80,000 Brits, that people who eat seven or more servings of produce every day also report higher life satisfaction . The effect was small — veggie-guzzlers rated themselves 0.27 points higher on a 1-10 scale of personal happiness. If we were talking about the mood benefits of, say, bathing in lye or hitting yourself with a mallet every day, I’d be inclined to wonder how much it matters to be 2.7 percent happier in the long run. But vegetables also taste good, so what the hey. (In fact, maybe that’s why produce-eaters are happier — their food tastes better.) I’d be inclined to guess that this effect occurs because access to good fresh produce tends to overlap with reasonably comfortable finances....
