What is the "food insecurity and obesity paradox"? Are Sally's behaviors indicative of someone who exhibits the food insecurity and obesity paradox?
The food insecurity and obesity paradox is seen when low-income, food-insecure people are overweight. Reasons for this paradox include the need to maximize caloric intake, the tradeoff between food quantity and quality, and overeating when food is available. Because we don't know Sally's weight, it is difficult to determine if Sally is representative of this paradox. However, we do know that Sally experiences times of hunger towards the end of the month and that she purchases the energy-dense foods instead of the nutrient-dense foods.
