Couldn't you do something similar to Myth Busters? While it is a
false dichotomy, there are some places where it does need to be
taught. You may not be able to teach the differences in taste,
such as which is better, Coke or Pepsi; you would be able to
teach if pizza is a nutritionally sound choice by breaking it
down into the food pyramid and whatever the other food you are
comparing with it. I don't know if that is similar to what you
had in mind or not, but I hope it helps
