• Food secure: is a household that has constant access to enough food for  all its members.
• Low food security: refers to a household in which the reduction in the food intake the distruption in eating patterns were avoided through coping strategies.
• Very low food security: refers to a household in which at least one of its memeber had their food intake reduced and their eating patterns were disrupted due to a financial inability to buy food.

• 14% is the percentage of food insecure houesholds, which includes both low security and very low security.

Therefore, according to the definitions used by the USDA Economic Resource Service, 8.4% of U.S. households were, at times, uncertain about having enough food to meet needs, but generally obtained enough food to avoid substantially disrupting their eating patterns by using a variety of coping strategies.
