(very long) Hot take:

I saw a handwritten poster yesterday that said: “Don’t eat anything containing palm oil. Millions of trees are cut down for a small bit of palm oil.”

I don’t disagree, however there’s one problem: The poster was written on paper which came from wood pulp (trees), and the poster was written with pencil which was made with wood (trees).

paper can be easily regrown and recycled. where as palm oil causes mass deforestation. i understand how you saw it.

Makes sense. Though there is also something called responsibly-sourced palm oil, this organization certifies responsibly-sourced palm oil for products: rspo.org
