“A lot of people look to food to self-medicate or to self-soothe…Now you have two weeks or more of food in your house and usually the foods that we’re stocking up on tend to be those non-perishables, so the things that people are more prone to binge on.”
Amanda goes on to highlight the importance of keeping a routine during this difficult time:
“If you would meet friends for lunch or dinner, do that virtually. As much of pre-coronavirus routine that you can implement virtually, we want people to be doing that.”
