Akavar 20/50
As a mother with 2 children, I understand the fact that eating right and exercising doesn't usually have time to fit into the picture. I started using Akavar 20/50 today and I have not felt hungry at all and do not feel dizzy like the other weight loss pills make you feel from not eating enough. I want to lose about 20 lbs and so far it feels like it is in reach. I would recommend Akavar 20/50 to anyone trying to lose weight and not having the time to do it any other way. Good luck everyone!!

1) umm I'd say red herring
2) It appears to be, at least partly, some sort of fallacy of presumption. Arguments that commit this fallacy presume what they purport to prove. In this case, the variety is probably 'begging the question'. The stated claim, "we wouldn't be able to say it on TV if it wasn't true" is actually only a premise. The implied conclusion is: What we say on TV is true. So the argument amounts to: P1: We wouldn't be able to say it on TV if it wasn't true. P2: We are able to say it on TV. C: So, what we say is true. P1: If ~T, then ~S (If S, then T - by contraposition) P2: S C: So, T The conclusion says virtually the same thing as the premise, and provides little to no genuine support. The first premise is a conditional, but the conditional is affirmed merely by being on TV - without any other support. So, this argument probably commits the fallacy of 'begging the question'. It is somewhat similar to this example of 'begging the question': P1: Anyone who isn't an extreme athlete couldn't be a baseball player. C: So, Any baseball player is an extreme athlete.
