Straw man arguments…

“Sadly guilty of the same faulty heuristics and baseless arguments of which it accuses others. In episode #363, they mention food deserts where, supposedly, people have no access to a supermarket but ample access to fast-food. This is a straw man argument born of Western privilege, already debunked by studies such as the Chicago Booth study. Imagine living where food is truly difficult to obtain and then you might question the absurdity of saying that driving slightly further to a supermarket is a hardship. Can’t drive to a supermarket? They now deliver almost everywhere for next to nothing. Sure, there may be a tiny minority who have a true preponderance of barriers that may make healthy eating simply too difficult, but obesity affects more than a tiny minority of people - it’s an epidemic. And it’s a false dichotomy to claim that of course people would choose to spend what little budget they have left on tinned and prepackaged food rather than a “chickpea salad” - as if all us who choose healthy foods are “privileged” folks splurging on poncy salads! Not to mention the fact that lots of tinned and prepackaged foods are actually very healthy. Tonight I dumped a tin of chopped tomatoes and two tins of butter beans into a pan with some onion and cumin and popped some brown rice in the microwave…it literally took 15 mins to create a delicious meal for 4 people, quicker than driving to a fast-food joint, far healthier and cost less than £1 each, so far cheaper, too! For dessert we had one cookie each. It would have been nice to alleviate some of the stress of our lives by scarfing down the whole container of them, but we didn't. It's called self-control. There are very few true barriers to making healthy choices, and to absolve people of any responsibility is not only counter-productive but insulting. If you’re going to argue for that position, at least use some real evidence rather than employing the same logical fallacies you accuse others of. I expected way more from this podcast!”Read full review »
