To strengthen his argument that eating a balanced diet is the best way to stay healthy, Damian should remove the evidence that states, "Eating junk food in moderation is not as unhealthy as people believe." This piece of evidence weakens his argument because it suggests that consuming unhealthy foods (even in moderation) is acceptable, which contradicts the idea of a balanced, healthy diet. The other pieces of evidence support the importance of a balanced diet.
