疫情期间的饮食习惯也会变化？
The coronavirus health crisis has interfered with almost every part of daily human life —including what we eat.
冠状病毒健康危机几乎干扰了人类日常生活的每一个环节——包括我们的饮食习惯。
Nearly a year into social distancing, many people are enjoying foods long forgotten or once rejected for taste, feel or smell. Some have added healthful food to their diets to strengthen the body's natural defenses.
在社交疏远近一年的时间里，许多人都在享受着这些食物，或许是早已被遗忘的，或曾经因为味道、感觉或气味而被拒绝的。有些人在饮食中加入了有益健康的食物，增强机体防御能力。
Home cooking activity is up everywhere as a result of restrictions on restaurants and other food shops. People are increasingly exploring new food experiences in their own kitchens.
由于限制餐馆和其他食品店的人流量，各地的家庭烹饪活动在与日俱增。越来越多的人们地在自己的厨房里探索新的食物体验。
Some experts think that changes in the way we eat also come from having more time to consider information about how food comes to our tables.
一些专家认为，我们饮食方式的改变也来自于有更多的时间去考虑食物如何上桌。
