From the few headlines that I saw snack food consumption went up a ton due to the pandemic. Being at home all day and having the fridge a few steps away must have been hard for most of us.

- doubled112 5y agoIt was the opposite for me. I ended up losing some pounds over pandemic. Nothing major, but enough that people who hadn't seen me in a while told me I looked like I was. I definitely eat better at home. Also, I wonder how much of it was the daily XL double double from Tim Hortons at 30g of sugar. Plus we often used to go grab another at lunch as a group. 60g sugar/day. Hadn't eaten food yet. Yikes! Frankly, the sweetness in foods that aren't meant to be sweet is incredible. Since I've started working at home and brewing my own, I can barely get through one. Once you cut some of it out you start to notice it more.
