Consider Michelle Obama's statement to the Grocery Manufacturers Association:

This doesn't happen overnight. We all know that human beings—I, for one, know—are hard-wired to crave sugary, fatty, salty foods. And it is tempting to take advantage of that—to create products that are sweeter, richer, and saltier than ever before."

Which of these statements would not provide a possible rebuttal to this statement?

A- "But doing so doesn't just respond to people's natural inclinations—it also actually helps to shape them. And this can be particularly dangerous when it comes to our kids, because as all of you know, as parents, the more of these products they have in their diets, the more accustomed they become to those tastes, and then the more deeply embedded these foods become in their eating habits."
B- "But here's the good news: It can also work the other way around as well. Just as we can shape our children's preferences for high-calorie, low-nutrient foods—with a lot of persistence, we can also turn them on to high-quality, healthier foods as well."
C- "But here's the thing—we can build shiny new supermarkets on every block, but we need those supermarkets to actually provide healthy options at prices people can afford. And we can insist that our schools serve better food, but we need to actually produce that food."
D- "But I was also completely unaware that all that extra convenience sometimes made it just a little too easy for me to eat too much, for my kids to eat too much, and to eat too often. And like so many families, my family fell into the habit of living that "grab-and-go" lifestyle, eating more and more between meals."
