Argument #2

Claim:  When healthy choices are available along with junk food, students will tend to select the healthy options.

Evidence:  On a typical day at River Grove High School, the lunch featured grilled chicken breasts, rice, steamed broccoli, and a fruit cup of fresh watermelon cubes.  The cafeteria reported that 819 out of 1,120 students purchased this lunch selection, while the rest selected less healthy options.

Warrant: As you can see most students at River Grove High School on a typical day in the cafeteria pick the  healthier options. When students are at least presented with healthier options, they take advantage of that. Most kids like healthy food, but are never offered it. There will still be those students who choose less healthy food options, however, most students in this day in age, try to choose healthier options for themselves.
