This is a short follow up to my recent post on the changing terminology from ‘hunger’ to ‘low food security’ which was revealed in a recent US report.
http://www.foodherald.com/low-food-security/
The Sydney Morning Herald, though seemingly criticizing this inappropriate use of terminology recently adopted the jargon in their article on hunger in our own city. The article states that a survey conducted by Liverpool based researchers “revealed about 20 per cent of the households did not have reliable access to a good diet.” This was primarily attributed to the rising cost of fresh foods caused by the Australian drought.
The Sydney Morning Herald journalists, Julie Robotham and Kerry Coleman, use the term “food insecurity” to describe the inability of low income earners in Sydney to adequately feed themselves and their children. The term is used again within quotations as part of the official report, which appeared in the Health Promotion Journal of Australia.
It seems odd that such a controversial and publicized term would so soon become common parlance in a newspaper that first reported its instigation. What do you guys make of this?
