Question

The final major claim against veganism is that it is just some kind of radical environmental movement in disguise; that in fact, veganism does not protect the environment. This claim is pretty ridiculous. Why? Because meat production actually takes a massive toll on our planet. How massive? Well, according to a United Nations report cited on the Mother Nature Network site, the production, consumption, and disposal of meat results in — get ready — 70 percent of the world's water consumption, a full 38 percent of the world's land use, and almost 20 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions. Which statement best evaluates the author's response to the counterclaim that veganism is not better for the environment?
A. The author's response is effective because he provides facts about the damage meat production does to the environment.
B. The author's response is ineffective because he makes outrageous claims about meat production and its effect on the planet.
C. The author's response is effective because he shows that the environmental movement is opposed to veganism.
D. The author's response is ineffective because he neglects to respond to the counterclaim and instead lists more facts.
