A photo of first lady Jill Biden cooking on a gas stove has been circulating widely on the internet in recent days. This comes as the Biden administration is reportedly considering a ban on gas stoves.
"Hey @Antoni, what's on the menu tonight?" Biden wrote on Twitter in September 2020, along with a photo of herself cooking on a gas stovetop. She directed the question to Canadian chef and television personality Antoni Porowski.
The photo appeared online shortly after a report by Bloomberg stated that the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is contemplating a ban on gas stoves due to concerns about indoor air pollution caused by the appliances.

The agency is said to be planning to take action on the appliances, as the pollutants they emit can lead to respiratory problems and other health issues.
Other Twitter users criticized Biden, with some mockingly objecting to her use of a gas stove, and others accusing her of being hypocritical given the potential new policy.
"Rules for thee but not for me," Texas Senator Ted Cruz tweeted.

Approximately 35% of households in the US are equipped with gas stoves, which are known to release carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and other pollutants that the World Health Organization and the EPA consider harmful for various reasons.
CPSC Commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. informed Bloomberg that the commission might issue a proposal on the subject matter as early as this year, but that would be on the "fast track".
