Read the excerpt from "Healthy Eating."

Unless you're trying to lose weight, nutritionists like to avoid diets.

"We were just laughing about that, like we could sell fairy dust and that's pretty much what a lot of these fad diets are about," said Natalie Castro-Romero, the corporate dietician at Baptist who oversees the company's 15,000 employees.

"One very common thing that happens is people feel overwhelmed and they need a starter to get something going, like a detox, but there’s no truth behind that."

For some people, small changes can lead to big results.

Which statement best describes the author's argument in this part of the article?

Diet plans are helpful only for people who want to make a change.
People should not feel pressured to start living a healthier lifestyle.

government is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
