The author noticed that in the published online version, Table 2 has a missing line. The correct table is shown below. Also, there is a typographical error in 2.5 Analysis section, the last sentence of the first paragraph should read “food insecure vs. food secure” and not “food insecure vs. food insecure”

The original published paper has been updated.
