Firstly, what are the arguments against Palm oil?
It is cultivated on the cleared rainforest land.
So are most of the grazing or farmland in the western countries. I see demonising Palm oil because western countries can't grow them because of climate limitations. In the same rainforest equivalent land is cleared for Soy production. We never hear about Soy-free because the USA is the biggest producer of Soy. Soy and Corn are the biggest reason for the global obesity epidemic. Soy and corn in the USA alone are grown on 75 million hectares of land whereas palm oil is grown worldwide on only 27 million hectares. Palm oil is the most efficiently grown crop. It takes 10 times more land to grow the same amount of other oils as palm oil. Western society is the most hypocritical bunch ever. We don't think twice about buying things which we don't need with the money we don't have. Big houses, cars, electronics and whatnot? We don't care where the raw materials in these products come from. But we care about the fraction of land that was cleared for palm oil by living on cleared land.
It's Unhealthy.
I think Palm oil is the healthiest cheap oil used by the processed junk industry. Every other oil becomes trans fat except Palm oil.
There is no reason for the USA to cultivate corn or soy except for the huge government subsidies for these crops. And same can be said for many poisonous crops which are destroying our health in many countries. If western countries can grow Palm oil they would have it by now. We as humans fall for Ponzi schemes and marketing very easily. It's proven many times.
