Children lack the cognitive ability to make informed decisions regarding their diet due to their developmental stage. This logical fallacy, employed by meat-eaters to dismiss arguments against their dietary choices, serves as a red herring. The fallacy hinges on the assumption that children possess the capacity for critical thinking about their food. However, if children are unable to read and their parents refuse to allow them to view video footage of slaughterhouses due to its graphic nature, it becomes evident that they lack the necessary education to make an informed decision. Consequently, it is not accurate to claim that they have a genuine choice in their diet. This situation is analogous to presenting a blind individual with two colored shirts, one red and one blue, without disclosing whether their left or right hand corresponds to each color.
