Is British food really that bad?

    Really interesting, thats cool as fuck. I wish they expanded more on specifically how cooking contributes to pollution. Is it the use of gas for cooking? Fumes from cooking oil?

    Cool read thanks for posting

    Gas cooking does make it worse. Taking oil past its smoke point is a major source too. Toasting, pan-frying, stir-frying, and searing.

    Besides avoiding these cooking methods, cooking on the back burners with an effective hood vent on high helps, plus room air filters.

    The phrasing here makes this sound scarier than it is. It doesn't mean that cooking emissions are "worse than car exhaust". It means that vehicle emissions have now dropped to a level below that of regular cooking emissions. This is good news.
