If you’re in the US of A it’s a regular fuckin’ gauntlet to try to ensure your food purchases aren’t loaded with corn syrup.

    I’m not in the loop about palm oil I guess.

      it’s a fat that stays solid at room temperature and you can make a lot of it by destroying the jungle. so they’re destroying the jungle and putting it in everything.

        Thank you for making me aware. I recently switched from almond milk to hemp milk to try to be more resource conscious. I guess I’ll also try to see if I can weed out palm oil products.

        indeed but you’d need to destroy waaaay more if you don’t use it, they use it because the palm oil tree is so comparatively efficient.

        Not using it in biofuels would be awesome though, electrify that use at least.
