only one or two food-insecure conditions. A household is classified as
food insecure if three or more food-insecure conditions are reported.
(Food-insecure conditions are indicated by responses of “often” or
“sometimes;” “almost every month” or “some months but not every
month;” and “yes”). Food-insecure households are further classified as
having either low food security or very low food security. The very low food
security category identifies households in which food intake of one or
more members was reduced and eating patterns disrupted because of
insufficient money and other resources for food. Households without
children are classified as having very low food s
