Last week, Garrick spoke at the Rose Cafe series event. I found this cafe event very interesting, as he emphasized the significance of unhealthy cooking practices that are used daily around the world. So many people are dying from diseases related to something that seems so easily fixable; however, this rings true in many situations (not wearing seat belts, texting and driving, not getting vaccines, smoking, etc.). Most of these situations parallel the open flame as a method of cooking in that knowledge and information is not necessarily the key to getting people to change their ways. There are many aspects at play (unfortunately, this includes financial reasons for cooking tools) that lead to people endangering themselves and others by not changing lifestyles. Hopefully Garrick can soon develop a reasonable and functional replacement to the unhealthy cook stoves that are used around the world!
