The COVID-19 pandemic is changing our food consumption behavior in many ways. Using the concept of food value, our analysis tried to capture the impact of the pandemic on what we focus on during food purchase. We found two main changes in food value trends. First, the number of people who place priority on price has declined. Second, we found a decrease in the number of people who strongly evaluate foods based on only one value. These changes seem to impact young people more, and the difference in food priorities between the rich and poor is reducing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
