8 Experience of Food Insecurity Among Seniors Reduced food intake: With all of my expenses... sometimes I have to go to bed without eating, [but] I am used to it. Episodic food availability: There were times that if we found [food] for lunch we didn t have [food] for dinner. Sometimes [our daughters] would help us. They would give us a loaf of bread and they would help us with a little bit of food... It is sad and painful. Sometimes we run out of things towards the end of the month. Dietary quality, Competing demands: I buy the medication first. I cook macaroni and put some sauce on it No protein, you know, not enough protein. Wolfe, Community and International Nutrition, 2003

9 Experience of Food Insecurity Among Seniors Stress: I worry a lot because of nutrition and health. I don t have the money to buy what I need. Coping strategies: Sometimes I don t have anything here and I don t want to tell my children that I am in that situation. I ll go to some of the Sisters apartments from church and they offer me food and that s how I can get something to eat. Wolfe, Community and International Nutrition, 2003
