That is from Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert.

He is right of course – Dilbert is smart.

The pattern I recognise is inflated claims for health impact from cooking fire smoke translated into funding to avert “the health crisis”.

If one wants to improve the lot of the poor, in the kitchen, ask them what bothers them about their stoves and cooking experiences. They will freely tell you.

Then address those concerns. Add your own no-smoke flavour. Presto.

Crispin
