They are not the sort who, pre-pandemic, sat in the front row at Paris Fashion Week, wearing a mask plastered with bright white Chanel camellias. They are the city’s nurses, bakers and firefighters.

Verve People Text by Sadaf Shaikh Many might argue that the West is generally superior in terms of food sustainability, having successfully developed plant-based alternatives to offset centuries of damage from their over-dependence on the meat and dairy industries. Megha Kohli who, until very recently, was the executive chef at Lavaash by Saby in Delhi — the sole Armenian dining establishment in the country — contends that India is only second to Bangladesh on the list of countries that consume the least amount of meat; many Indians save it for special occasions and even give it up on certain days of the week for religious purposes — which significantly...
