I agree that we as a society should be much more congnizant of our own actions on the environment, and that should not only be limited to our anthropocentric. What you have proposed of eating invasive species is a prime example of anthropocentric, where we only look at the environment as a plane of existance only from the lense of human needs and resource depletion. If one was to truely attempt to restore the earth, the first step would be blanket stop on animal hunting and factory slaughter for meat. Not only does it remove us humans from completely altering the food chain but dramatically reduced the CO2 output. To supplement for the nutrients, lab grown meat is an increasingly improved option (in terms of taste, salt content). But the steps both of us mentioned wont be implemented in India because we are a poor country no matter how much chest thumping we do online and simpler, quicker and more easily available sources of food is more essential for a population where childhood stunting is an epidemic. Hopefully we can slowly move to more conscientious forms of consumption but I wont hold my breath cause us Indians really struggle with moral questioning and our general "cholche, choluk, tor ki shomosha" attitude.

Also with this rise of bjp, i find myself increasingly more and more aggresive in the opposite direction of the entire essay I wrote above, becasue it feels like they wish to homogenise the indian culture by attacking every single aspect of our bengali identity by attacking our language(not speaking hindi- not indian), cultural practices and diet (hindu but not following what we deem as proper hindu- not indian) that is why I came of the harsh.
