Consumer advocate: Support TMD, a pesticide used on peaches, shows no effects on human health when it is ingested in the amount present in the per capita peach consumption in this country. ███ █████ ██ ███████ ██ ███ ██████████ ███ ██ ████████ ███████ █████████ █████ █████████ ███████ ████ ████ ████ ███ ████████ ████████ ███ ████ ██████ ██████████████████ █████ ███████ ██ ████ ██ ████ ██████ ███ ███ ██ ███ ██ ███████ █████ ███████ ████ ██ ████ ██ ███ ███████████ ██ ███ ███ ████ █████ ██ ██ ██ ██████████ █████████
Summary
The consumer advocate concludes that TMD has not been shown to be acceptable. Why? Because some people eat a lot more peaches—and thus more TMD—than the national average, but TMD has only been tested for safety at the average level of peach consumption.
Notable Assumptions
The advocate points out that we don’t know if TMD is safe for people who eat more peaches than average. From this, he concludes that TMD hasn’t been shown to be acceptable. But he doesn’t explain what makes a pesticide acceptable or unacceptable. He’s assuming that if something hasn’t been shown to be safe for everyone, then it hasn’t been shown to be acceptable.
To help justify his conclusion, we need a principle that satisfies this assumption. This would support the conclusion that TMD hasn’t been shown to be acceptable.
