considering i ate almost entirely cereal growing up and was much healthier than most of the people i grew up with, that claim is not worth its weight in font.

One data point? Are you sure most of the people you know were eating healthier than you?
yes, having 0 nutrition would mean that i could not have possibly survived. and if you want to be in the group that thinks eating indigestible cardboard is a possibility because 'there wasnt enough data', have at it.
you do realize, you dont need a ton of data in everything to draw conclusions.
One is more than none.

One is a data point. You can draw any line you feel through it but that doesn't mean it's a trend. You need more data.

It wasn't an argument about a trend. The question of whether you can drive a car by filling its gas tank with cola instead of gasoline is answered after you fill a car with cola instead of gasoline, then drive it. There's no need to establish a trend.
