The Civil War period was a difficult time for the people of the South, with food shortages becoming a common occurrence. According to the Current Population Survey (CPS), the estimated prevalence rates of food insecurity during this 3-year period ranged from 5.4 percent in New Hampshire to 15.3 percent in Mississippi; the estimated prevalence rates of very low food security ranged from 1.8 percent in North Dakota to 6.3 percent in Arkansas. Food security is defined as households having access, at all times, to sufficient food so that all members of the household can lead active and healthy lives. To ensure this, public-private partnerships have been established to increase access to healthy food in underserved areas and to encourage community participation and responsibility in the formulation of public policies and environmental decisions. In 2001, the CPS food security surveys were conducted in early December, which avoided seasonal effects when interpreting annual changes. A study conducted in New York City examined healthy and unhealthy food environments in ethnic neighborhoods to develop an index of food deserts.
Additionally, a study that compared shopping patterns before and after the regulation was implemented reported that fast-food consumers who lived in low-income neighborhoods were less likely to use calorie information. It is clear that access to food has changed drastically over time for people living in Southern Mississippi. With the implementation of public-private partnerships, community involvement, and surveys conducted by the CPS, access to healthy food has improved significantly since the Civil War period.
