粮食不安全被定义为“家庭层面的经济和社会状况，即获得充足食物的机会有限或不确定。”然而，在过去的20年里，美国的粮食不安全水平一直在波动；有色人种和白人在粮食不安全率方面的差距继续存在。人们日益认识到，歧视和结构性种族主义是造成健康行为和结果差异的主要原因。虽然出现了一些有希望减少粮食不安全的做法，但解决结构性种族主义和歧视的方法可能对减轻粮食不安全方面的种族/族裔差异和促进整体卫生公平具有重要意义。
Food insecurity is defined as "a household-level economic and social condition of limited or uncertain access to adequate food." While, levels of food insecurity in the United States have fluctuated over the past 20 years; disparities in food insecurity rates between people of color and whites have continued to persist. There is growing recognition that discrimination and structural racism are key contributors to disparities in health behaviors and outcomes. Although several promising practices to reduce food insecurity have emerged, approaches that address structural racism and discrimination may have important implications for alleviating racial/ethnic disparities in food insecurity and promoting health equity overall.
