Exercise 5. Read the following and decide if the following sentences are True or False.

In recent years, environmentalists have raised concerns about the future of food. Every year, 1.3 billion tons of food are consciously thrown away by consumers while over one-tenth of the population still go hungry. Many governments have started to take remedial action to reduce food waste. Since 2013, for example, the US government has launched the Food Waste Challenge, encouraging restaurants, schools and universities to make contact with hunger relief organizations like food banks and pantries. It also forces food manufacturers and stores to improve their product storage systems through which food can be kept longer. In addition, food suppliers are required to recycle their discarded but unexpired products to feed animals or create compost, bioenergy and natural fertilizers. In Viet Nam, diners at some buffet restaurants have to make a heavy charge for extra amounts of leftovers whereas some food retailers offer a big discount on near-expired products.
