While yes it might not be the safest due to the fire hazard it apposes. However when first reading this statement I assumed that it meant it wasn't safe to eat compared to it not being safe to cook. The source was reliable and factual I just found the statement to be slightly misleading.

I agree that the statement is misleading and doesn’t give us enough information u til we actually read the source. I would have been interested to see how you felt more on this and if you believed it was totally false or true once reading the source and your own personal thoughts on the article, but overall I did agree with what you said! It was well worded and straight to the point!
