Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)

True

There is a limit to the amount of food people want to eat. As consumption increases, the marginal benefit from eating decreases. This constraint on the demand for agricultural output is reflected in the relatively inelastic demand for food. Consumers don't increase their food purchases much when farm prices fall.
