Abstract
This commentary discusses Nettle et al.'s "The Insurance Hypothesis" linking food insecurity to a high body mass index (BMI). Discussion about how the relationship between race/ethnicity and obesity in the United States is consistent with this hypothesis is presented. Potential ways forward to elucidate the validity of this hypothesis in humans through rigorous controlled trials is highlighted.Entities:
