Makes me wonder how I lived so long. Started out with a coal stove on the high plains, then went to wood in the Ozarks. The thing that nearly killed me was Natural Gas when it blew up our camper trailer in 1956. Burnt my mom horribly.

Public education needs to end. Every college and university should survive on their own merits.
Not one taxpayer dollar should go into funding education.
If a school wants to sell education services, let them compete fairly like every other business.
Tax subsidies and student loans have distorted the true demand for education to an absurd level.
This is why most college students drop out before graduating and why so many who do obtain a diploma do not work in their field of study.
The “college bubble”.
I'm not that old, I'm only 27 years old. But back in the '80s, I played on "dangerous" monkey bars and I've never broken any of my bones. *knock on wood*
It's hard to believe on how much things have changed just in a couple of decades.
You think that’s bad?
A panel of expert scientists assembled specifically for the purpose has just recently announced that life leads inevitably to death.
Just think about that for a moment.
What it means is that no one lives forever.
Scary.
Everybody knows this from history, this is why civilization died out before they invented the microwave.
Bureaucrats stay employed by extrapolating data like this and then misapplying it.
Folks that cook over wood 365 days/year, every year have a problem...
So, being a good bureaucrat, we’ll “save” those cooking over wood 12 times a year.....
Movie popcorn with coconut oil....gone!
because if you eat it every day for 10 years, it could be a problem....
These liberals just keep marching on almost unimpeded...why is that?
Majority of Americans don’t even buy into all this crap, but more and more their liberal ideology keeps sticking.

Now I know why I am not a Mensa.
Wood stoves: Who woulda thunk it?
How smart would Thomas Jefferson have been if he hadn;t had his brain smoked.
And Harry Truman and Abe Lincoln. Those guys would have been brilliant if their homes had been heated by solar panels.
This just in: People who eat are more likely to die of cancer, heart disease, and infected hangnails than people who don’t.
In one of her more cogent moments, Clinton’s first Surgeon General, Joycelyn Elders, said, “Everybody’s gotta die from somethin’.”.................
CARB has been after the BBQ business for a couple years now. This is from Aug. 2009
“Slayton, owner of Jake’s Tex Mex, almost single-handedly (my words, NOT his) backed the San Joaquin Valley Air District down from a new requirement that would have forced any restaurant grilling 800 pounds of meat a week to spend potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy and install new exhaust systems.”
They didn't.
They're all dead now.
It wasn't until he moved back East that he found out about the downside of sawdust from a Pac Northwest native. Fleas.
The manager said he always wondered about his ankle rash when he was out there.
Folks, this is a real issue. It’s not about the environment or BBQs.
it’s about people who live in third world huts, with a little fire on the center of the room, with a hole in the roof (to let the smoke out. The fuel is whatever can be found, and Mom and the kids live in this smoky environment.
Humanitarian efforts help by providing simple stoves that burn fuel more completely, and heating food more efficiently with less fuel.
Look up “Rocket Stove” for one that can be made with 16 clay bricks.
Guess these folks never heard of a “rocket stove”.
Cheap, low tech, high efficiency, and low emissions.
I love these kinds of studies. One question though.
Are people who are exposed to woodsmoke made less intelligent by it....
Or are less intelligent people more likely to be using wood instead of electricity?

Forgot to add, the woman in the photo is collecting buffalo manure for her fire.
Wood cooking fires are the way the surplus population is reduced in poor countries
