Summarize Argument: Counter-Position

The author concludes that lawmakers’ proposal to have milk labels list the artificial substances used in milk production should not be implemented. This is supported by some examples of unexpected information these labels would have to include, like fertilizer used to grow the cows’ feed. The examples imply that it would be too impractical to list all of the many artificial substances used in the many steps of milk production.

Describe Method of Reasoning

The author counters the lawmakers’ proposal by pointing out unforeseen consequences of the proposal that would make implementing the proposal unreasonable.
