There's a kind of language creep throughout all of these discussions. When people are no longer hungry, we start talking about the "food insecure" in the same terms. Nobody ever seems to notice that we went from "hungry" to "food insecure" or even what "food insecure" is supposed to mean (although I'm sure it has some academic definition). What I do know is that when I was briefly on food stamps my food budget doubled and I wasn't ever anywhere near going hungry on the prior budget, so it's really hard to know what I'm supposed to take away from these designations.
