Yu: The menu at Jason’s Restaurant states that no food served there contains products grown with chemical pesticides, but Conclusion this cannot be true. █ ████████ ███████ █████████ ████████ █████ █████ ████ ██████████ ██ ███ ███ ████████████ ████████ ███ █ ███████ ███████ █████████ ███████ ████ █ █████ █████████ ██ █████████ █████ █ ████ ████ ████████ ██████████ ██ ███ ██ ███ ██████
The author concludes that there must be some food served at Jason’s Restaurant that contains products grown with chemical pesticides. This is based on the fact that the restaurant gets its produce from Kelly’s Grocery, and workers at the grocery were observed unloading produce from a truck belonging to Megafarm, which uses chemical pesticides on all its crops.
The author assumes that Jason’s Restaurant isn’t purchasing from Kelly’s Grocery any produce that doesn’t have chemical pesticides. (Although Kellly’s Grocery purchases produce from MegaFarm, that doesn’t mean all of its produce comes from MegaFarm. Some produce could come from places that don’t use chemical pesticides.)

If anything, this strengthens the argument by suggesting Jason wouldn’t know to avoid MegaFarm’s produce.

The author never assumes that every ingredient Jason uses was grown with chemical pesticides. As long as the produce was grown with pesticides, the author’s argument can still make sense.

This raises the possibility that Jason can avoid picking the produce that has chemical pesticides at Kelly’s Grocery. So, the mere fact that he shops at Kelly’s Grocery would not guarantee that he’s using produce grown with chemical pesticides.

Whether a pesticide has been approved by the government has no impact on whether it is a chemical pesticide.

The author never assumes that Jason knowingly purchases produce that has chemical pesticides. Maybe Jason doesn’t know that what he’s buying was grown with chemical pesticides.
