Proponent: Irradiation of food by gamma rays would keep it from spoiling before it reaches the consumer in food stores. ███ ███████ ██████ ██ █████████ ███████ ███ ███████ ██████ ███ ██████████ ██ █████ ████ █████ ██ ████████ ██ █████ ██ ██ ██████ ██ ██████ ███████████ ██ ███ ███████ ██ █████████ ██ ███████ ███████ ██ █████ ███████ ██████████ █████████ █████ ██ ████████████ ███████ ████ ██████ ███████ ███████ ██ ██████████

In response to the proponent’s claim that there is no reason to reject irradiation on the grounds of nutrition or safety, the opponent states irradiation does not kill botulism bacteria but kills bacteria that warn consumers of botulism. Moreover, a safe chemical drip easily kills salmonella and the bacteria that causes botulism.
The opponent counters the position held by the proponent. He does this by suggesting an alternative method. A safe chemical drip would achieve the benefit of killing salmonella and does not fail to kill botulism bacteria.
The opponent's argument proceeds by
