According to a survey carried out in April 2020, it was found that 40 percent of Brits reported that they were eating more since the coronavirus lockdown started, while 20 percent overall said they were eating healthier than before. Around half of the respondents said they had been eating about the same quantity as before the lockdown and eating similar healthiness levels of food.
