Theodora's reply to Marcia's argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that her reply
is directed toward disproving a claim that Marcia did not make
ignores the results of the research cited by Marcia
takes for granted that no meat-based industries will collapse unless most people become vegetarians
uses the word "diet" in a nontechnical sense whereas Marcia's argument uses this term in a medical sense
takes for granted that people losing jobs in meat-based industries would become vegetarians
