I’ve never seen labeling like this before. Interesting.

    Yes, but palm oil is a hard fat, it’s used for cookies and anywhere that needs to be solid. alternatives are coconut oil and butter. Neither are better in yield vs land use.

      But if butter can be produced in abundant habitat like the midwest prairie instead of threatened species-dense places like Borneo’s jungle, I’d prefer to go with the higher land use but ultimately less ecologically destructive option.

        Sure, it’s an alternative. It’s also much much more expensive and less healthy than palm oil (butter has more saturated fats and cholesterol).
