The author concludes that most people need to take vitamin pills. This is because most people don’t hit their recommended intake of fruits and vegetables per day, which would be enough to satisfy their vitamin needs.

The author believes that eating five servings a day of fruits and vegetables is a necessary as well as a sufficient condition for nutrition. This means the author assumes no other foods would satisfy these vitamin needs.

This creates even more obstacles to meeting one's nutritional needs, which certainly doesn't weaken the claim that most people should take vitamin pills.

We have no reason to believe the average person is eating especially nutrient-dense fruits and vegetables, even if some of those options exist. This doesn't give enough information to affect the argument.

Regardless of what constitutes a “complete serving,” the author tells us most people are eating “far less” than five servings. Marginal disagreements among nutritionists don't change that fact.

In other words, another class of foods would satisfy vitamin requirements: fortified foods, which are overlooked by the author. Presenting this alternative weakens the argument.

We don’t care about fiber, which isn’t a vitamin. We need to weaken the specific claim that most people need vitamin pills to meet their vitamin needs.
