The last I knew, you were considered “hungry” if you missed just ONE of your 3 daily meals in a month. How dumb is that??
The questions they ask are loaded and used specifically so kids answer the way they want them to.
They use things like "Do you know where your next meal is coming from?" If they answer, "No." even if they eat 3 squares a day, it gets recorded as a bad thing.
They even count it as "at risk" (which is the category the press usually uses to boost the number) if you had insufficient variety in your food, so if you have a hearty plate of rice and beans three nights in a row at the end of the month you might as well have starved to death in Ethiopia.
Are you kidding me? Then I must be positively starving. If I eat my regular breakfast, make a good lunch for myself and eat a protein, two veg, one starch dinner for Monday through Thursday lunch, I don’t want to eat dinner on Thursday night. I usually go to an exercise class to stimulate my appetite and even then I can get away with a bowl of soup.
I only eat two meals a lot on Saturdays too (but four on Sundays), especially if I’m cooking something fancy for dinner.

That's strange. I often miss lunch if I'm not hungry.
