This sounds like the naturalistic fallacy.
- ctchocula 14y agoThe naturalistic fallacy is only relevant when dealing with ethics.
- papsosouid 14y agoNo it isn't. "Good" is not a strictly ethical question. In this case, someone is wrongly pretending that whatever is "natural" to eat is also "healthy" to eat, and thus "good".
- ctchocula 14y agoOn second look, I agree with you that my statement (while true) does not apply to the grandparent, because as you explained the naturalistic fallacy does seem to apply here.
