In this article, we present data from the monthly Pandemic Food and Stigma Survey
(PFSS), a nationwide representative sample of adults in the United States
designed to identify how the pandemic is affecting concerns about food and the
environment. Two surveys were conducted in May and June 2020. Our analysis
suggests that the public's concern about contracting COVID-19 has been high;
however, infection with COVID-19 was not the only concern. A majority of
respondents remained strongly concerned about environmental issues, such as
climate change, while responses to sudden relaxations of environmental and food
safety policies varied. We analyze the PFSS data to identify factors associated
with concerns about pandemic and environmental regulatory changes. In general, we
find that people whose food security has been threatened by COVID-19 remain
concerned about relaxation of environmental regulations, and those most inclined
to take steps to reduce spread of the virus, such as wearing masks and social
distancing, are more concerned about relaxed regulations than those less willing
to take mitigating actions.
