2. Claim: The pancakes served in the free and reduced-price breakfast program are not detrimental to one’s health.
Evidence: The pancakes are made from processed flour, sugar, salt, eggs, and baking soda, and are served with butter and cane syrup.
Warrant: Pancakes are healthy because kids need to eat to learn. At least students are getting a meal to start their day. Except for the processed flour, the other ingredients are all natural. Although processed flour is technically bad for you, once again, at least no one is starving at school.
Counterargument: Pancakes are not a healthy choice for any student to eat, and especially students who have to eat whatever the cafeteria is serving. Processed flour is filled with chemicals which could set these students up for diseases like cancer in the future. Sugar could raise insulin levels which leads to diabetes. Salt equals high blood pressure and heart attacks and too many eggs could spell blocked arteries for the future adult. Kids who need free meals should not have to cross their fingers and hope not to die in the future. They should have the same future as any other kid-a healthy one.
