Yes, yes to most of what you got goin’ on here :) I’m just compelled to stick up for watermelon lol! nah, it’s a really good source of nutrition and worth highlighting to promote more frequent consumption. Here’s a few bits on why:

Some people may need to choose between foods they can actually have and could use more information to make the healthiest decisions for them or their family. Many of the supporting sources I found state that one could and should eat more servings of these nutrient dense foods (and that many people do not eat enough of the good stuffs like these examples)

Anyway, happy watermelon eating hahaha 😸

Hahaha true, but even your sources only say that it is healthy "to some degree" because it does indeed have limited vitamins and minerals (very low potassium, calcium, and not much else besides sugar (though by weight not as much), just a ton of water which most people don't drink enough of. It's not bad per say, just delicious and not too much to it. Still, way better as a dessert than almost any treats!
