In light of COVID-19's effects on individuals' social, economic, political, and psychological values, this paper aims to investigate the pandemic's role in possible changes to people's food consumption and meal habits in three countries, namely China, Portugal, and Turkey. The sample includes individuals from the three countries, exploratory factor analysis and non-parametric tests were used to test the differences. Results suggest that coronavirus has played a strong part in altering households' food consumption and meal habits within these countries. The pandemic has particularly led to greater consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables and spending more time eating meals at home. Portugal appears to be consuming more seafood, bread, and butter whereas China features higher consumption of rice and meat products; Turkey is consuming more meat and eggs. The study closes with a set of recommendations for the society and future research.
鉴于新冠疫情对个人社会、经济、政治和心理价值观的影响，本文旨在调查该疫情在三个国家（即中国、葡萄牙和土耳其）人们的食物消费和饮食习惯可能发生的变化中所起的作用。样本包括来自这三个国家的个人，采用探索性因素分析和非参数检验来检验差异。结果表明，冠状病毒在改变这些国家家庭的食物消费和饮食习惯方面发挥了重要作用。疫情尤其导致新鲜水果和蔬菜的消费量增加，以及在家用餐的时间增多。葡萄牙的海鲜、面包和黄油消费量似乎更高，而中国的大米和肉类产品消费量更高；土耳其的肉类和蛋类消费量更高。该研究最后为社会和未来研究提出了一系列建议。
