To think actually I do need more food than usual?

[DoubleAction]

And loo roll!

I've stuck to my usual shopping routine and it's becoming clear I shouldn't have.

All of a sudden I have 4 adults in the house 24/7. 3 of them eat out at lunch 5 days per week and 2 of them are rarely here for dinner, in the usual course of events.

Two are 6ft young men! The bread and cheese already....

I have a feeling that the MNetters who previously whipped up a second dinner for their ‘starving’ teens who’d just had a full meal might be changing their tune now.

No one here eats too much. Everyone is well within the BMI guidelines. But we do usually eat a lot of meals away from home, which now need to be bought in the supermarket.

If we've got to a place where we have to fight this virus while the population is undernourished, it's even worse than I thought.

BTW, it's amazing how handy those 'unnecessary snacks' for your children can be when you're on a conference call to 20 people, and you need your children to be quiet for half an hour
