Final answer:

Micronutrient malnutrition can occur even if a person is consuming enough energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that only people who do not consume enough energy experience micronutrient malnutrition is False.

Micronutrient malnutrition, also known as hidden hunger, occurs when a person lacks essential vitamins and minerals in their diet.

This can happen even if a person is consuming enough energy (calories) but is not getting an adequate amount of micronutrients from their food.
