Question:
Lam argues that Americans' increasing awareness of the harmful effects of excessive consumption and waste production is cause for hope and celebration. True or False?
Answer:
The assertion above is False
Explanation:
What Andrew Lam (that Author) is trying to say is that Americans still want to eat their cake and have it as far as waste and consumption is concerned.
He lays his argument on the background that he and his family once fed off food that was condemned to be wasted by supermarkets.
According to Lam, the consumerism is still a very strong American habit.
