I suppose you should also ban any product that contains sugar, cocoa, coffee, tea, soy, tropical fruit, nuts, beans, etc. etc. as they deforest to cultivate these crops as well. Why is it fair to ask a nation of impovershed farmers to not cultivate their land in the same way US settlers did 300 years ago? When you drive around eastern US & canada, imagine all the roads, fields, towns were all heavily forested before the land was cultivated
In some parts of the world such as in Africa, Palm oil is a popular cooking oil, as much as vegatable oil is here in the US....... they sell this stuff pure by the jug retail off the shelf. So please keep focused on the true culprits and stop trying to save the world by nitpicking the little offenders. Next time your in the store check out the palm oil content in the import food isle to get a global perspective on indifference
Its unfair to single out General Mills/Cheerios alone when over 50% of ALL consumer products manufactured in the world use palm oil. Most of these products also use significantly more per unit than is contained in a box of cereal. China uses more palm oil than an country in the world. Go pressure their industry for wasting tons unnecessarily instead of picking out an american industry for using a dash by comparison.
how can something so little cause so much destruction you asK? THERE ARE LOTS OF THEM THATS WHY!

It kills me because everything I eat has palm oil in it. 1/2 packaged foods have it

Surely it's true , why do we need to destroy rainforests so
that we can make sure our Cheerios have palm oil in
their preparation. It's insane! This must be brought to an end! We just refuse to eat them and feel pangs of guilt
about the health of Mother Earth's rainforests
