Palm oil is everywhere.
It is used in most soaps, as it is gentle to the skin and makes for a hard bar. It is used in lipsticks and in lip balms, as it is softening and nourishing due to the high saturated fat content. Palm oil is in many shampoos and shower gels as well. It is in our processed foods. Take a glance at the back of the package of any major brand of crackers, chips or cookies. Palm oil is in packaged biscotti and treats for gourmet bakeries, too. Some chocolates also contain palm oil, as do many kinds of toothpaste.
"What is so wrong with how we get palm oil?"
Palm oil is brought to us by literally destroying the habitat of animals, particularly orangutans.
Thousands of orangutans have died because of this trade!
Oh, palm oil, which is high in saturated fats, raises your risk of heart disease.
As heart diseases is our nation's #1 killer of women,
shouldn't that be reason enough to stop consuming it?
