That's true, palm plantations are responsible for huge environmental devastation and displacement of indigenous populations.

This bottle of palm oil isn't guaranteed sustainable or anything else, but it's from Ghana, which at least means it's not from Indonesia, which is where I've heard of the worst abuses.

In this case, I feel the benefit from being able to share food with people far away outweighs the possible harm caused by my purchase of one bottle of palm oil.
