Palm Oil Free Cooking Oil, Margarine and Spreads

Are you an avid lover of #Nutella and other spreadable butters and #margarines? Consider that many popular brands come tarnished with dirty #palmoil. Why is palm oil dirty? It has destroyed millions of hectares of rainforests all over the world. Firstly in SE Asia and increasingly now in Africa, South and Central America as well as India. Wild animals and indigenous peoples suffer the most. Here’s a helpful guide so that you can AVOID the major supermarket brands and still enjoy your hit of nut butter and chocolate spread WITHOUT Nutella.

By choosing locally produced cooking oils such as olive, sesame or peanut oil and by making your own foods instead of buying convenience foods you’re doing your health and the animals a favour. If you are ever in doubt look for the prefixes: LAUR, STEAR, GYLC and PALM in the ingredients list on packaging – this is most likely palm oil. Take action and buy #PalmOilFree #Vegan and #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife

Palm oil is one of the world’s most destructive crops, as it can only be harvested in tropical rainforest and peatland landscapes where the highest concentration of endangered species live. The majority of palm oil and soy is fed to farm animals that people eat. This is why palm oil is an animal rights issue. And it is for these reasons that palm oil is NOT considered vegan by animal activists. It may be a plant-based substance, but it is NOT VEGAN. Convenience food mega-brands that make spreads and margarines like Mondelez, Nestle, Danone, CocaCola, Pepsi, Hersheys and Ferrero claim that the palm oil they use is vegan. Yet all palm oil is linked to greenwashing, extinction and ecocide!

Companies should give the people what they want – palm oil free!

Research finds that palm oil free labelling encourages more people to purchase these products

“The perceived effects of palm oil on health have the strongest influence on consumption intent, followed by environmental damage caused by palm oil production…Our research suggests that companies developing palm oil-free products could benefit from a label on the product stating their palm oil-free nature.”

“Results revealed that consumer exposed to the ‘palm oil free’ products showed a lower risk perception compared to those exposed to the ‘with sustainable palm oil’ products and to products without claim. Moreover, the product evaluation was better in the ‘palm oil free’ condition compared to the “with sustainable palm oil” condition”

“Products with a free-from label were considered healthier than products without such a label, with the strongest effects occurring for labels indicating that products were free of GMOs and free of palm oil.”

For today's nut butter experiment: pecans and hazelnuts!

I soaked them overnight this time, because the last batch (walnuts) was a bit bitter without the soaking step.

They're cooling off on the patio right now. Will process them when I get home from a meeting and will report back, maybe even with a pic!
