Abstract

Quick tabulations of responses to Section C of the objective food consumption measurement which asks about skipping meals

Section C Responses

Warning

We ask “Did you skip lunch today” even though we are measuring breakfast; these results have been omitted (1 respondent says ‘Yes’ to skipping lunch during a breakfast measurement).

2 of the respondents who say they skipped breakfast report this during a breakfast measurement (included in results)
