Yep, I do know all about the environmental issues, and I'm not intending to make it a major part of my diet. There are sustainably produced palm oil, though: I found this page (http://www.evolvingwellness.com/essay/guide-to-red-palm-oil-health-nutrition-sustainability-brands), which lists several.

The sort I bought doesn't claim to be sustainably produced, so it probably isn't, but it's from Ghana, which as I was saying to cmcmck in my other entry about it, isn't like Indonesia or Malaysia with huge mega-plantations (also, the oil palm is native to western Africa, which maybe makes it a little less bad there--though huge plantations of just one type of crop are always bad news).
