Explanation / Answer

Ans . Yes, the question is biased.

Better Question: (B) How do you think eating vegetables affects your health?

Explanation:

This question suffers from 'Framing effect' bias. Here the given question is a yes/no type question, but the hypothesis requires an elaborate answer. This is because any activity like eating something affects us in a complex way, which is not completely known to us.

again, to our knowledge, eating vegetables may have some good as well as some bad effects. So the question should not be stated in a binary manner. Rather, both the aspects(Pros and Cons) should be studied/reported properly.

[Framing effect (psychology): The framing effect is an example of cognitive bias, in which people react to a particular choice in different ways depending on how it is presented; e.g. as a loss or as a gain. People tend to avoid risk when a positive frame is presented but seek risks when a negative frame is presented.]

Also,The inflexibility of absolutes makes questions too rigid to be used in a survey. Instead, the question should have a variety of options that people will feel more comfortable choosing from.
