With obesity becoming an epidemic in the country, it is up to our schools to inculcate healthy eating habits in the children from a very young age. A significant step in this direction will be changing the set-lunch menu available to students in schools. The lunch options should be devoid of junk food items such as burgers, French fries etc. Having healthier alternatives such as fresh fruits, salads, boiled potatoes etc. in schools will likely ensure that most of the students have healthy meals at schools.
Which of the following is required for the above argument to hold?
(A) The new, healthier eating options will be priced comparably to the items currently available for lunch in schools.
(B) The parents of the students will appreciate and support the proposed changes in the lunch menu at schools
(C) The number of people currently considered obese in the country could be negatively impacted by the proposed changes in the lunch menu at the schools.
(D) Currently, more than 50% of the students do not eat healthy meals at homes.
(E) Less than 50% of the students eat packed lunches they bring from their homes.

Plan is to change the set-lunch menu available to students in schools. (The lunch options should include healthier alternatives)
- this will likely ensure that most of the students have healthy meals at schools.
Aim - to inculcate healthy eating habits in the children from a very young age.
The school is focused to inculcate healthy eating habits among children when they eat food at school.
Which of the following is required for the above argument to hold?
(A) The new, healthier eating options will be priced comparably to the items currently available for lunch in schools.
Price is not a factor for the argument to hold.
(B) The parents of the students will appreciate and support the proposed changes in the lunch menu at schools
appreciation/support from parents may not be a critical factor for the school's plan to achieve its aim.
(C) The number of people currently considered obese in the country could be negatively impacted by the proposed changes in the lunch menu at the schools.
It is not a factor for the argument to hold.
(D) Currently, more than 50% of the students do not eat healthy meals at homes. We are interested in children eating meals at school and not at homes.
(E) Less than 50% of the students eat packed lunches they bring from their homes. Yes. If less than 50% of the students bring packed lunches from their homes then it means that more than 50% of the students will buy the healthy food available at school and this will ensure that the school's plan will be successful.

The argument presented is that changing the set-lunch menu available to students in schools, and offering healthier options, will help inculcate healthy eating habits and reduce the incidence of obesity.
Option A talks about the pricing of the new, healthier eating options. While pricing may be an important consideration, it is not necessary for the argument to hold. So, option A is not required for the argument to hold.
Option B talks about the support of parents for the proposed changes. While parental support may be desirable, it is not necessary for the argument to hold. So, option B is not required for the argument to hold.
Option C talks about the impact of the proposed changes on the number of people considered obese in the country. This statement is not necessary for the argument to hold as the argument is concerned only with the impact on school children, not the entire population. So, option C is not required for the argument to hold.
Option D suggests that a significant number of students do not eat healthy meals at home. While this may be an important consideration, it is not necessary for the argument to hold. So, option D is not required for the argument to hold.
Option E is required for the argument to hold, as it suggests that more than 50% of the students rely on the school's set-lunch menu, and hence, the availability of healthy options at school will be critical in ensuring they have healthy meals.
Therefore, option E is required for the argument to hold, while the other options are not necessary.
