The criteria for "food insecurity" is a "yes" answer to the question, "At any time in the past year, have you experienced uncertainty about how you will provide a meal to yourself or a loved one?"

I could have answered yes to this at any point in college or the years immediately after, and I never really considered it a problem as long as I had beer.

That answer has been "yes" virtually every year of my life. My baby and I have tons of food in the freezer, but sometimes we just don't feel like cooking any of it. So, after a brief moment of uncertainty, we order out. The uncertainty is over whether we should order Italian, Chinese or Mexican. I didn't know that made us "food insecure." Thank goodness we don't grade our toilet by that scale.....
