As an Indian its funny how westerners can't literally think out of a plastic bag. What's not so funny is when India is copying the west.
Most supermarkets here (Germany) are actually optimizing their supply chains to reduce plastic around produce again — this was definitely worse in the late 2000s/early 10s. But you can now often buy packaging-free cucumbers, for example. No doubt though, they still use metric shit tons of single-use paper and plastic everywhere. At least to some degree they are just optimizing for customers to see less of it.
