    This debate was [actually] about whether the cookies that Isaac provided were good or not.

    Ingredients in the cookies:

    • 2 egg whites
    • 1/8 tsp. cream of tartar
    • 1/2 tsp. vanilla
    • 2/3 cup sugar
    • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
    • 2/3 cup chocolate chips

     

    • Supporters for good cookies: Abe, Anna, Chloe, Dennis, Elli, Helen, Ian, Jacob, Lindsey
    • Evidence:
      • Ian: "Eggs have protein."
      • Helen: "Most of the cookie is air pockets."
      • Ian: "Soda is something extra that is unhealthy, but you give and take a little."
      • Chloe: "It's important to look at portion size. The portion size [for the cookies] is probably not all 30 cookies."
      • Ian: "Also, these cookies are low fat."
    • Supporters for bad cookies: Alana, Alex, Austin, Colbie, Logan, Rebecca, Tyler
    • Evidence:
      • Alex: "You already get all the sugar your body needs from other foods. Your body doesn't really need more sugar. Also, sugar makes you really hyper."
      • Tyler: "These cookies have a lot of chocolate chips in them - which aren't good for you!"
      • Colbie: "Some people aren't as aware of nutritional values."
      • Alana: "With a bank account, it is a lot harder to withdraw money than it is to deposit money. It is the same with nutrition - it is easier to intake calories than it is to burn fat."
      • Alana: "But there can be other things in cookies [other than fat] that are bad for you."
      • Alana: "Chickens [in animal plants] are so cooped up that they can barely move."
      • Colbie: "Organic and all-natural are sometimes mistaken for each other."
      • Alex: "People always eat more than the serving size."
    • Judges: Isaac, Logan
    • Winner:
