Yup. I have seen the same phenomenon in small towns in Gujarat,
Maharashtra, Karnataka, Bihar.

There is also a long history in Indian cities of commercial cooking - not
full meals (restaurants), but snacks, dry foods, pickles, canned/bottle
foods and beverages - and uplifting of women's economic status. In
Ahmedabad, Jyoti Sangh <http://jyotisangh.org/>, started in 1934 taught
cooking, started food sales and service work. And what started from her
home in my neighborhood 50 years ago - http://www.indubenkhakhrawala.com/
- has now become a major food and snacks enterprise; there are tens of them
throughout Gujarat.

I want to do a survey of emissions and pollution exposures in commercial
cooking. I doubt WHO/EPA care.

Bleeding hearts over the lot of poor women is such rich business.
