Actually, palm oil itself isn’t necessarily bad. It’s the most high yield vegetable oil there is, which means it needs less land to grow enough oil to help meet the worlds needs than other oils like soybean, canola or sunflower.

But it doesn’t have to be this way - the good news is that palm oil production can be environmentally responsible.
