I thought this was going to be about people remote working during the pandemic not getting enough exercise and eating candy.
According to a cross-sectional web-based survey taken on 995 people between August 15 and August 30, 2020 across various cities, towns and villages in India:
"Almost nine months of the pandemic marginally improved people’s eating behaviour, yet a third of participants gained weight as physical activity declined while screen and sitting time increased, a study conducted by AIIMS researchers to evaluate Covid’s impact on lifestyle changes has found. Mental health was also adversely affected and quarantine-induced stress and anxiety showed an increase by a unit in nearly one-fourth of the participants."[1]
Even pets are getting fatter, according to a Kelton Global survey of 1,021 U.S. dog and cat owners and 257 veterinarians between November 23 and November 30, 2020. 33% of those with an overweight pet said their pet became overweight during the pandemic.[2]
