Of course, it's not as if those making these accusations don't have their points. for example, just because you don't eat meat or food derived from animals doesn't mean you will be healthy. if you subsist on a diet of candy bars, soda pop, and pasta, you'll be at the very least overweight, and you also won't get the nutrition you need to be healthy. which statement best evaluates the author's response to the counterclaim that vegans believe the only secret to a healthy life is not eating meat? a. the author's response is effective because he points out what an unhealthy diet is. b. the author's response is ineffective because he makes outrageous statements. c. the author's response is effective because he provides commonsense examples. d. the author's response is effective because he uses a report about nutrition.
