How did the Covid-19 pandemic impact household food waste behaviour?

In our 1-element datapoint, we saw fewer, larger food purchases, curbside pickup and a willingness to forgo items that were previous acquired &quot;some distance&quot; from home. Perhaps a bit more care in handling trash, garbage and recycling in that gloves were used more, but the outgo from the house was basically unchanged.<p>Props to the folks who kept picking up waste, along with those willing to shop for others. They were &quot;essential&quot; but the latter were certainly treated poorly with regards to compensation.
