    This has been discussed before. Clearing out steppes and prairies is different from clearing out rainforest with its extreme biodiversity.

    i also think it matters in which country it’s done, fucking up other countries to give yourself luxuries is more distasteful than fucking up your own back yard.

    Because it’s being used for mass ultra processed foods. I was really just referring to the difference between that and the palm oil that’s used in traditional African cooking. Its like soy or corn or any other crop that’s being used for capitalism rather than just feeding people.

    I am expendable, the planet isn’t. Don’t destroy our natural resources for palm oil production
