Induction is great, but of course still not as fast as gas and pots get expensive. I'm return much safer - I'd prefer my old townhouse not to be filled with ancient gas lines.

She's commenting on the scientific research and evidence on a certain topic, which happens to be largely but not only about one individual company. That's what journalists do. Your comment is very disingenuous.
