"Either I keep eating beef and get a heart attack, or I quit and eat yucky vegetables. Since I know I must either eat beef or not, I know I will be stuck either with yucky vegetables or a heart attack."
To escape between the horns of this dilemma, I might argue:
A) I haven't really considered the alternatives though.I can always learn to exer- cise more so that eating beef won't give me a heart attack.
B) Now that I think of it the outlook isn't so bleak.Lots of people manage on vegetables.I'll start eating more vegetables now so that I can avoid heart dis-ease later.
C) Let's look at it in a new light.Either I eat just enough beef to make my vegeta- bles taste OK now or I quit eating beef now and concentrate on looking for better food.Either way I end up with a different diet.
D) Of course, the choice shouldn't be between beef and vegetables.What I really need is to find more variety in foods.
