1. The author argues that people do not care about red meat and fatty cheese that people buy
nowadays. The author compares a new store and a restaurant to support his/her idea. In addition,
the author compares a modest living and being millionaires. However, the argument can be
weakened by two main points.
First, the author fails to compare two things. The conditions are different for restaurants
and stores. There may be other reasons why the owners of an old vegetarian restaurant, the Good
Earth Café, are still making a modest living. For example, the restaurant may have customers
that prefer this restaurant especially. In addition, the quality of meals at the restaurant may still
good for some customers. Moreover, the owners of this restaurant may be consider animal rights,
and may not want to put meat on the menu.
Second, the author notices that the owners of the new House of Beef are millionaires,
while comparing living modest for the owners of the Good Earth Café. There may be other
reasons why the owners of this store are millionaires. They may have been already millionaires
before they open the store. There is no evidence that shows people go to this store and buy beefs
to increase the store’s revenue. In addition, the owners of this store may have a farm that helps to
increase outcomes of the store.
To conclude, the argument is flawed because of two reasons. First, the author compares
two different things. One is a store, the Heart’s Delight. Another is a restaurant, the Good Earth
Café. Second, the author also compares two different things, modest living and being
millionaires. To strengthen this argument, the author should consider other factors that the
owners of the restaurant may have reasons, such as being environmental, keeping customers, and
other traditional reasons.
