  I'll expect you to come back as isadore and counter with how we need to help the poor more.

  Anyone over 300 lbs.

  Farmers are happy. They get a bunch of money (through Uncle Sam) from us all because of the drought.

  Man earns $365 per day. The only food available is a cheeseburger in the entire universe, which costs $1. Man eats 1 cheeseburger per day. Drought happens, price goes to $2 per cheeseburger. Man can now only consume .5 cheeseburgers per day. He has no choice. Man eats less.
  
  Is that simple enough for you? Hopefully this doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out.

  Funny, you used "realistic" to describe this hypothetical thought.

  Appealing to a commonly held presupposition is actually a logical tactic. Without such, we'd forever discuss Augustine's & Descartes's view of epistemology. Provided that we hold the view as being open to defeaters, there is still some logic to wielding it.
  
  And again, I'm a marketer, and we generalize (Read: "play the odds of a segment of the population based on data") for a living.

Generalizing is using all available data that one has observed through his or her lifetime to make a conclusion on a particular item. That doesn't necessarily mean said person is correct, but that they are using what they know to form an opinion. If you feel said person is unfairly giving a generalization to an object, you are allowed to present data in order to persuade said person to change their generalization of said object.

  
  This was pretty much the point I was going for.
