1. True
If you any anything like I did. The morning after Christmas I woke up feeling full -- didn't stop me from eating though because, you know, it was there!

4. both true and false

false, because it's politics that keeps the food from getting there

5. Mostly true
We do have enough food for everyone on the planet. Technically speaking, no one should be starving. The problem is usually distribution.

Those of us who have access to food have access to too much of it; and those who don't have it, not only don't have it but have little or no access to it.
