what does it mean by saying "not food for thought."?
Here's the whole sentence.
So maybe all we need is a happy, "healthy icon" to keep us from overdoing it. Because pointing out that a large order of cheddar fries has 700 calories was not food for thought.
What does it mean by saying not food for thought??
And how to use this structure of "not A for thought"?
Thank you!!

hey Annie,
It means you don't want to think about it too deeply, because if you do, you probably wont eat it.
The same is true for thinking about what hotdogs are made of ....
The opposite expression: "Well, that's food for thought", means that you should think deeply about it (ie, it feeds your mind)

It is a bit of a joke actually.
not food for thought = not a pleasant idea; not worth thinking about
food for though = something you feed to your brain to let it think about

not worthy of thinking about
