Bisexual Individuals Are Particularly Vulnerable to Food Insecurity

In the United States, bisexual individuals are particularly vulnerable to food insecurity, defined as the lack of access to adequate food for an active, healthy life. A research study by Nasser Sharareh, PhD, at University of Utah Health reveals that people who identify as bisexual have limited or uncertain access to adequate food as compared to heterosexuals or individuals who identify as gay and lesbian. The results held true no matter their level of income or education, type of employment, or whether they had health insurance.
