‘It’s insulting. It’s sacrilege’: Asian Americans react to possible federal ban on gas stoves – MarketWatch

Yam, the Serious Eats editor, agrees that a gas-stove ban could force lifestyle changes for people. It’s a sensitive topic that adds to the history of neglect the Asian American community feels — especially when there might be bigger sources of harmful emissions at home.“Maybe you should start with changing your [furnace] to electricity instead of gas before you infringe on what feels like such a fundamental way of life for a lot of people,” she says. “It’s one of those things where you can’t even have one thing. It’s like, it’s a gas stove to prepare the food of your culture and you can’t have it.”
