I was looking into the ingredients of a vegan macaroni and cheese sauce I really loved which is no longer available. I was dismayed to see that the number one ingredient is palm oil. Reminder to also avoid palm oil because most palm oil plantations involve razing forest habitat, especially negatively impacting orangutans.
It would be interesting to see an analysis of deforestation for dairy vs palm oil. We only ever hear about deforestation for meat, so idk what it looks like for dairy
don’t forget soybean oil
That would be interesting, but orangutans in particular have increasingly little land upon which they can live and it’s largely due to palm oil plantations. The situation is a bit urgent for them.
Ok. But the Amazon is being destroyed for meat? And that’s a lot of animals
Okay, and? That’s just whataboutism. It doesn’t change that orangutans are endangered by palm oil plantations.
I can’t tell if this is satire or not? Ok fine, one animal is endangered by palm oil. Thousands are endangered by meat deforestation.
