Experts (not vegans @arista) replaced one bad decision with an arguably worser one.

40% of all products we can buy in a supermarket have palm oil in them. Its in margarine, biscuits, bread and doughnuts. Its in our packaged food, ready meals and tinned products and its in our toothpaste, soap, moisturising creams and lipstick. If you want to avoid palm oil, try reading the list of ingredients on all the products you throw in your weekly shopping trolley and I’ll guarantee your bill will be considerably less.
Palm oil isn’t the problem, its where palm oil is grown that’s the problem. Deformation of our tropical forests has to stop and this is why we have charitable organizations like 'The Roundtable For Sustainable Palm Oil' working closely with environmentalists and include restrictions like, the none cutting down of new forestry to produce palm oil. Sustainable palm oil is becoming the norm, at least here in the UK and its ok to buy and consume TRSPO because they are not clearing forests or harming our wildlife anywhere in its process.
