Answer:

The "WebMD's claim will cause consumers to demand ______more_______turkey at every price."

Explanation:

Consumers will tend to demand more turkey in order to increase their expected lifespan by 2 years by consuming more of the protein found in turkey as claimed by WebMD.  This implies that there will a new equilibrium as the old equilibrium shifts outward to match the increased demand by consumers of turkey.  This claim may trigger demand and supply to exceed the annual 400 million pounds equilibrium at $5 per pound.
