>the association of well-being with regularly eating potatoes was nearly as negative as the association with [social media] use.

Maybe regularly eating potatoes is a lot worse for a person that most of us currently realize. (They do have an extremely high glycemic index and high levels of oxalic acid.)

Potatoes are harming the kids, ban it?

Seriously though, the correlation is just weak - far to weak to actually draw conclusions from let alone ban it.

Australia and Denmark are on track to ban social media for kids. I hope scientists are watching - it’ll be fascinating to get some actual data on what happens.
