- ‘Health halo’ lifts demand for veggies, even as snacking booms
- ‘Traditionally, food has a comforting role,’ analyst says
The pandemic has totally transformed the way the world eats.

They’re stress baking, but they’re also eating healthier than they would have at restaurants. Avocados are in. Pork belly out. Frozen pizzas and instant noodles are selling out.
