True. The statement from Jonathan Swift's essay "A Modest Proposal" is an example of satire. Satire is a literary technique used to criticize or mock human vices or foolishness through humor, irony, or exaggeration. In this case, Swift is using satire to criticize the British government's neglect and exploitation of the Irish people by suggesting that children could be used as a source of food.
