Writing Warrants Practice

Claim: Potato chips are unhealthy because the way in which they are prepared is unhealthy for the human body.

Evidence:  Potato chips are made by slicing each potato into a thin oval and deep-frying it in vegetable oil, then adding salt and additional flavors.

Warrant:  Although potatoes are considered vegetables, and therefore have potential healthy effects; deep-frying them in oil adds fat grams to an otherwise healthy food.  Not to mention, the addition of salt adds sodium to our diets which could lead to high blood pressure.
