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.

Yeah I can find stuff I want without corn syrup way more easily than find stuff I want without palm oil.

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

Rainforests are being destroyed to harvest it.

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.

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.
