Question

Which argument is an example of a slippery slope fallacy? Most teen girls who avoid eating cheese tend to become anorexic. So everyone should eat meat. Excluding cheese from your diet will make you lose weight. If this continues, it will eventually lead to anorexia. Certain lifestyle analysts state that excluding cheese from your diet will make you anorexic. Hence, it must be true. Of course you, being a dietician, would recommend that people exclude cheese from their diet.

Answer 1

The first argument should be the one because there is no connection between the two. Most teen girls who avoid eating cheese tend to become anorexic. So everyone should eat meat.

Just because there is an avoidance of cheese eating, does not mean necessarily that we should all eat only meat. Nor that the teenagers should eat only meat.
