Something that’s such a joy in my life every day - cooking - is this incredible, horrific danger to women around the world.

Roberts contrasts her own everyday pleasure in cooking with the life‑threatening reality many women face when household cooking depends on open fires or unsafe stoves and fuels. The quote points to the hidden gendered burden of domestic labor: what is framed as “home life” can entail chronic smoke exposure, burns, and other hazards, especially where clean energy and safe infrastructure are lacking. By calling it an “incredible, horrific danger,” she reframes cooking from a lifestyle choice into a public‑health and equity issue, implicitly urging attention to safer technologies and policies that reduce risk for women and families worldwide.
