Ecologist: While many consumers are thrilled that gourmet hamburgers cost them as little as $4, they would surely change their tune if they knew the true economic cost of a hamburger, which, through its impact on the environment and its contribution to our skyrocketing national health care costs, actually has a net cost to society of over $200.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
The $200 cost is actually paid by the consumer.
If the actual cost of a hamburger to society were only $4, its purchase would be nutritionally and economically justified.
Consumers care about the costs that their decisions impose on society.
Hamburgers could be produced at a cost to society less than $200.
No hamburger costs less than $4.
