Well they sort of were (at least the way the BBC portrayed it) as the beeb's saying on it was:
"Although the researchers cannot totally rule out the possibility that people with depression may eat a less healthy diet they believe it is unlikely to be the reason for the findings because there was no association with diet and previous diagnosis of depression."
Which I think is a little presumptuous from what the study actually says, which is people with confirmed depression 5 years down the line were eating more junk food. I would imagine there was quite a long pre-confirmable clinical depression phase where people's dietary habits and activity levels may change.
