Abstract: At the beginning of COVID-19, emotional thinking induced panic buying. As the pandemic unfolded, rational thinking became apparent and prompted spending and financial adjustments. Online shopping and consumer demand for food safety, in addition to technology-driven retail and higher quality-assurance standards, will characterize the post-pandemic food system.
