Summarize Argument: Counter-Position

The author concludes that certain lethargy studies don’t settle the question of whether fast food is unhealthy. This is a response to a researcher who concluded that the lethargy studies show fast food is unhealthy. The author points out that even though there is evidence that a rise in lethargy is correlated with an increase in the number of times a typical family eats fast food, the true cause of the increase in lethargy might be a lack of exercise.

Identify Conclusion

The conclusion is the author’s assessment of what the lethargy studies do not prove: “[T]he lethargy studies do not settle the question of whether fast food is unhealthy.”
