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 poor nutritional status are not always good indicators
  of food insecurity. How is food insecurity assessed in the
  United States?
