reposted this because i didnt get enough confirmations. i dont think anything less than 20 is too much.
A speaker argues that spinach is the most nutritious vegetable for a person to eat. A commenter objects that there are many ways to measure nutrition, with some vegetables doing better or worse according to different measurements. What is an effective counter argument for the original speaker to use?
- If you create a numerical measure of all kinds of nutrition, spinach has the highest average score.*
- A well-known nutritionist has said that spinach contains a lot of iron.
- Surely it is rude to suggest that spinach is a terrible vegetable.
- The point is, people should eat more of all kinds of vegetables.
You received all of the answers you're going to get on Jiskha. This is for homework help -- not for taking polls.
i doubt you have high expertees in everything you answer. no offense meant, i'm limited as well.
i think i will answer my test anyway and leave help here for people with the same or similar problem
correct
An effective counter argument for the original speaker to use would be:
"While it is true that there are different ways to measure nutrition, if we consider a comprehensive measure that takes into account various nutrients, spinach consistently achieves high scores. If we compare the average nutrition content across different vegetables based on multiple nutrients, spinach tends to come out on top. Therefore, it can be concluded that spinach is indeed one of the most nutritious vegetables for a person to eat."
To arrive at this counter argument, one would need to:
1. Familiarize themselves with the different ways nutrition can be measured, such as using specific nutrients, a comprehensive nutrient score, or a combination of various factors.
2. Conduct research or refer to existing studies that compare the nutritional content of different vegetables based on these measurements. Look for studies that consider a wide range of nutrients, such as iron, calcium, vitamins, etc.
3. Analyze the data and identify which vegetables consistently rank higher in terms of overall nutrition. In this case, if spinach consistently achieves high scores on various measures, it can be argued that it is indeed one of the most nutritious vegetables.
By presenting this counter argument, the original speaker acknowledges that there are different measurements of nutrition, but asserts that when considering a comprehensive measure, spinach stands out as a highly nutritious vegetable.
