Obesity-Free Gujarat is a much needed campaign. As a caterer, we've already started reducing oil in our dishes. Customers actually appreciate healthier options these days. Good move by CM!

Interesting to see the mix of international cuisines at a Gujarat caterers expo. The food scene in Ahmedabad has become so diverse in recent years. Would love to see more fusion options!

While the expo is good, I hope they also focus on food safety and hygiene standards. Many small caterers still don't follow proper protocols. Government should make training mandatory.

Attended today! The workshops were fantastic - learned so much about sustainable catering practices. The Korean food stall was my favorite! Definitely worth visiting if you're in F&B industry.
