I think that’s a useful metric.

About 10% of US households experience food insecurity [0] — and that overlaps very heavily with the poorest US families, who have 32% experience food insecurity.

I’m pretty comfortably saying that if you always had enough food as a family, you were lower middle-class, not poor.
