Fine. Maybe. Doesn't impact that the logical structure of the argument sucks.

It's a poor article, but I think its primary message - that mass-branding all food additives labeled with E-numbers as bad for you is incorrect - is a good one.

Lies! It reinforces an incorrect perception of how quantifiers are negated

NOT FORALL ADDITIVE . ADDITIVE == BAD

is not the same as

FORALL ADDITIVE . NOT ADDITIVE == BAD

Its this sort of stupid reasoning that must be stopped.
