Cooking Can Be Deadly: A Letter to the Editor from 日本av无码 Champions Chef Jos茅 Andr茅s and Chef Sanjeev Kapoor
To the Editor:
Re: 鈥溾��
Thank you for shining a light on the dangers that children in India face each day from air pollution. The powerful story of Monu and Aamya reveals how this often invisible threat is constant in the homes, schools and neighborhoods of New Delhi 鈥� made worse through inequality.
A critical moment that stood out to us as chefs was the dramatic increase in Monu鈥檚 exposure levels as his mother and families in his neighborhood lighted open fires to cook their meals. Sadly, this is a scene replicated each day not only across India, but also in hundreds of millions of homes around the world, where people lack access to clean, modern cooking energy. And it is a crisis that harms聽health, the聽climate聽and the聽environment, while costing governments聽trillions聽of dollars.
It doesn鈥檛 have to be this way. Access to clean cooking is one of the most overlooked and underfunded development issues. And while there is no one-size-fits-all solution, there聽are聽solutions. Through increased government support, research and private-sector investment, it is possible to realize a future where no one鈥檚 life is limited by how they cook.
