Editorial: Support If current trends continue, obesity will soon be the leading cause of preventable illness in our country. ███ █ ██████ ██████ █████ ████ ██ ███████ ██ ███████ ████ ████ ███ ███ ████ █████████ ██ ██████ █████ ████████ █████ ██████████████ ███████ ████████ ██████████ ███████ ████ ████ ████████ ██ ███ █████████ ██ ████████

Summary

The author concludes that doctors need more training in how to treat obesity.

Why?

Because if current trends continue, obesity will soon be the leading cause of preventable illness in the country.

But 45% of doctors in a recent survey said they didn’t feel qualified to advise patients about weight issues.

Notable Assumptions

The conclusion asserts that doctors “need more training” for something. But the premises don’t tell us how to determine what doctors need or what they should give given. We want a principle that gets us from the premises to a conclusion that doctors need or should be given something. For example:

If many doctors don’t feel comfortable advising patients concerning a subject that’s a major cause of preventable illness, then doctors need to get more training in that subject.
