It hasn't been all bad for Unilever, though. The company owns ice cream brands such as Breyer's, Ben & Jerry's and Magnum, and ice cream sales at home are up as people consume more food at home.

There's a commercial of a hideously fat woman hopping and prancing around in her underwear while eating ice-cream.

The visuals were bad enough -- but now going to be thinking how bad she must smell.

I blame Nancy Pelosi. She sticks and buys expensive ice cream.

Prove me wrong . . .

Been losing some serious weight the last few months. It’s been much easier now to be strict since they are few distractions like going out, where I tend to eat more.

It’s nice to get to be able to get up and do quick 10-20 minute jogs every two hours or so during the day, without having to worry about showering.

Can’t exactly do that at the office.

I haven’t used deodorant since March 13. Eyebrows, ear and nose hair are completely out of control.

Same here. Not going out, or being rushed.
I added daily walks and meditation to my normal routine.
Down 18 since lockdown, and I wasn’t obese.

My company actually does have a gym at the office, which is nice, but of course, you can usually only go there during lunch hour.

It would be nice to have as much hair as I had in high school.

This is a dumb point, article and statistic. People are in a bad way and we are joking about it. Wake up folks, we are being played.
