Ming notes how many cookie manufacturers have removed trans fats, which are particularly unhealthy, from their products. She then concludes that consumers are better off as a result. Carol questions Ming’s conclusion on the grounds that cookies without trans fats are still not healthy.

Carol responds to a claim that Ming didn’t make. Ming just claims that cookies are healthier when they don’t have trans fats than when they do—not that they’re healthy, period. Carol’s response indicates that she interpreted Ming to be claiming that cookies without trans fats are healthy.

Neither speaker refers to the levels of trans fat found in different cookies—only that many cookies no longer have them at all.

This describes Carol’s misinterpretation. Ming only says that cookies are healthier without trans fats than they are with them. Carol responds as if Ming claimed that cookies without trans fats are healthy.

Carol doesn’t distinguish between foods that are not healthy (possibly neutral) and foods that are unhealthy. She only says that desserts are not healthy.

Carol acknowledges that many of the cookies no longer have trans fat. She doesn’t mention any foods with trans fat.
