Despite food insecurity being a problem in prosperous
  countries such as the United States, it's not usually

  means that in the United States, clinical measurements
  such as low height and weight that are normally indicative

  of food insecurity. How is food insecurity assessed in the
  United States?

questions about their behaviors related to food access and
availability. Using the results of that survey the USDA can
classify the food-insecure respondent as having either low
food security or very low food security.
