"Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) and Boston Medical Center (BMC), in collaboration with researchers from Arkansas, Maryland, Minnesota and Pennsylvania, have found that children living in households with food insecurity , are more likely to be at developmental risk during their first three years of life, compared to similar households that are not food insecure."Can't something be done to make food feel more secure? I guess not now that this is on the menu:Taliban Say They Will Attack Restaurants
UPDATE: Yet More Fresh Doom! First the global freezing, then the ozone hole, then the alar scare, then the warming, then the comet strike, then the supernova explosions, then Rogue Black Holes Roam Milky Way, then the Massive Gas Cloud Speeding Toward Collision With Milky Way, and now, now this, the FINAL INSULT! → Troublemaking Solar Cycle Kicks Off
I tell you if this keeps up, sooner or later every single person alive on the Earth today is going to be dead, dead, dead!
Posted by Vanderleun at January 16, 2008 11:46 AM | TrackBackWhile "food insecurity" is jargon, I once saw it in action with a young boy a friend had adopted. He'd been underfed until the age of two or three, and it was more than a year after his adoption, but he paid extremely close attention to food and according to his mom, would clean his plate without any prompting at all.
Since we were at a wedding reception at the time, I think he got plenty. But he was certainly insecure about food.
