Delineate and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, assessing whether the reasoning is valid and the evidence is relevant and sufficient; identify false statements and fallacious reasoning.

In the article I read, it claimed that the brain affects how hungry you are by saying that when the "participants’ whose glucose levels dropped below normal craved photos of the high-calorie foods than those whose glucose levels were normal." But, I don't think that the brain affects it strongly enough to make people actually eat it, it just makes people "desire" it so they'll want to "reach for the junkfood". It's the person's decision, and they get to decide whether they want to eat healthy or head for the junkfood.
