Answer is E
The Health Advocate's Argument is for the implementation of mandatory calorie counts on all restaurant menus to combat obesity because when calorie information is visible, people choose healthier options. So, he proposes that all restaurants should be required to display calorie counts, to reduce the national obesity rate within 10 years.
We need to find the weakening statement
E states that calorie count is just one way to estimate whether the food is unhealthy. Some foods may be highly processed and have high sugar and salt content which is equally harmful and increase obesity. Hence E is correct
St A states that number of customers decrease but this is not the question at issue in the stem
St B states that fast food was only included in the study which is narrow in scope. However, the question at hand is about introducing calorie count as a way to combat obesity.
St C-Difficulty in estimating calorie count may be very narrow to completely discard the idea
St D- Affordability of high calorie food and its increase is also of narrow margin to let go of the idea in hand.

Health Advocate's Argument: The implementation of mandatory calorie counts on all restaurant menus is widely seen as an effective measure to combat obesity. Studies have shown that when calorie information is readily available, people choose healthier options. Therefore, a health official proposes that all restaurants should be required to display calorie counts, aiming to reduce the national obesity rate within 10 years.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously calls into question the advisability of implementing the proposal?
(A) Many restaurants that voluntarily provide calorie counts have seen a decrease in customers, indicating potential revenue losses for businesses. Wrong Choice
We are not cocerned with revenue of restaraunts.
(B) Studies demonstrating the effectiveness of calorie counts have primarily focused on fast food restaurants, which only represent a portion of the restaurant industry. Wrong Choice
If this statement is true, the outcome of proposal might still hold.
(C) Restaurants that have already implemented calorie counts report difficulties in accurately estimating the calorie content for every dish, leading to frequent revisions. Wrong Choice
It does not impact the outcome.
(D) Foods that are high in calories are often the most affordable options, making them more appealing despite calorie count displays. Correct Choice
This statement, if true, creates doubt on the plan.
(E) Many foods that do not have high-calorie counts are still unhealthy because of high salt or sugar content, which is not necessarily reflected in calorie counts alone. Wrong Choice
This is tricky choice. Although, the foods mentioned here might be unhealthy because of high salt or sugar content, we are concerned with consumtion of food that causes obesity.
