The first argument should be the one because there is no connection between the two. M ost teen girls who avoid eating cheese tend to become anorexic. So everyone should eat meat.

Just because there is an avoidance of cheese eating, does not mean necessarily that we should all eat only meat. Nor that the teenagers should eat only meat.
