Summarize Argument
The author concludes that many people are ignoring the health recommendation to cut back on high-cholesterol foods like red meat. She supports this by noting that steak restaurants are thriving even though the restaurant industry is generally declining.
Identify and Describe Flaw
The author implies that people who eat at steak restaurants are ignoring the health recommendation to avoid high-cholesterol foods like red meat. This argument is vulnerable to criticism because it overlooks a few key possibilities. Perhaps many people eat at steak restaurants on special occasions and avoid high-cholesterol foods at all other times. Or perhaps many people order something other than steak at restaurants specializing in steak.
In other words, the author draws a conclusion about steak restaurant patrons’ overall behavior based on one potentially unrepresentative example.
