As I read the newspaper today about surges in Covid cases (should I be worried again? I’m on the fence… 😬) it took me back to March 2020 when we were all hunkered down, scared, concerned, and very cautious.
One of the earliest studies we did then was on the impact of the Covid-19 lockdown on food habits of students and working professionals living away from home.

Many, many more studies later, I’m struck by how close kin continue to figure prominently in different life choices of Zoomers and early Millennials.
