  abstract = {{T}he use of expenditure surveys to measure food insecurity is widely discussed. {I}n this study, we investigate food insecurity in terms of monetary poverty. {U}sing a {M}alian survey that incorporates exceptionally detailed information on food consumption, we estimate that 35 % of the households are in a paradoxical situation, some poor households managing to cover their caloric requirements by eating cheap calories and some non-poor households not doing so because they consume expensive calories and/or face constraints such as the obligation to share meals with visitors and high expenditure on health care or transportation. {T}hese findings highlight precautions that need to be taken when measuring food insecurity through monetary income or expenditure indicators.},
