Pandemic eating: Another warning to eat healthier in the age of Covid-19

Being stuck at home during this pandemic has meant more take-out and more quick snacks for many people, I’ve written about the dangers of that before. But now a new warning about such eating habits comes from the website eatthis.com

“As we change the way we live, we have the risk of developing some very serious patterns that do real damage to our bodies and potentially put us in harm’s way,” the site notes.

Splurge on the garlic fries at Safeco Field. They were a garlic-lover's dream. — Beware the fried foods you may be eating more of these days.

The site asked nutritionists for advice. Among the recommendations — take care with what type of take-out foods you order, don’t keep junk food in plain sight around your house, and watch your salt intake, a constant challenge for most Americans.

As someone who decided to splurge on hot dogs and fries the past two weekends, I’m feeling this is written to me — and to all of you.
