This is a big lie and everything here is bullshit.

Palm oil is not healthy, it contains a lot of saturated fat that accumulates into the coronaries, they practice "slash and burn" in the precious rainforest of malaysia, endangering the tigers and of course the Orangutan. So this is no shit, Oil Palms must be banned, find another way to apply vegetable oil, but not this shit, 3 days ago, they said on BBC World News that Palm Oil plantations don't produce too many oxygen and we still believe this?

[malaysianpalmoil]

@Erikhaos we understand your concern but palm oil is bad for it's saturated fat was the 1st anti-palm oil campaign. Science proved otherwise. Since the baseless allegations are rebutted through science and there's no way science is wrong, now they attack on environmental front. They used cuddly orangutans and tigers to blur people's (like you) vision with baseless emotions. how can a big tree like palm not produce too many oxygens?how about other crop's capacity then? why is palm being targetted

[Erikhaos]

@malaysianpalmoil Because Palms don't produce that many oxygen, they explianed it, PO plantations is not worth the ecosystem killing, now, let's say we don't care about the wildlife which is also endemic in those island...

What about the Global Warming?, those forest have lasted hundreds of thousands of years there, you slash them, burn them, and grow an alien tree to that place which doesn't provide too many oxygen, neither food for the wildlife and also pesticides, So who are you fooling then?

[malaysianpalmoil]

@Erikhaos you talk about ecosystem. this is malaysian / indonesian ecosystem you're talking about. we have more than 50% of land under forest cover and a very strong and regulated land use policy by the government. what about UK and other European countries? how many percent are still under forest covers? less than 20%. we have sovereign rights to develop our land for economic gains too. why not close down farms in Europe and start replanting? wouldn't that help global warming?

[malaysianpalmoil]

@Erikhaos A lot of saturated fats? You live in the 70s dude. Slash and burn - wrong again. Malaysia practiced zero burning and is enforced by law. Most of the tigers are in the forest reserves and orangutan doesn't live throughout Borneo. Only certain places and those places were made National Parks. So if palm oil doesn't produce much oxygen, what crop does? Soy? Rapeseed? and these crops doesn't slash and burn? What about the sovereign rights of nation to develop lands for economic purposes?

[Makadonska27]

THe only way this will change is if countries like our own (UK-US) impose sanctions against this product and work with them to make the industry sustainable. You cant blame the malaysians. If we were not buying it they wouldnt be ramping up production. Simply make some big sanctions against anything from non sustainable practises. Only learned of the situation recently and have already ensured that we use nothing of this in our houses this view is spreading fast to our friends and family.

[malaysianpalmoil]

how about other agricultural like soy and rapeseed? how about the forest that was once there and all the animals that were lost? how about ensuring them to be sustainable too? because until now, palm oil is the ONLY industry that has a roundtable initiative to ensure that all its players follow a sustainable practice. this is pure trade barrier by the EU / US if we follow what makadonska27 is suggesting. dont hide behind green cloak.

[Looking4TheSpacebar3]

What a wonderfully air-brushed reality of palm oil production.

I hope people know that because places like Malaysia switch from mainly producing food to making 2/3rd of their agricultural land producing things like palm oil there becomes a, potentially, global shortage of the food or resource that the farmers use to produce, like rubber and cocoa. Particularity if other areas/ countries cannot grow that specific food.

There are +ve and -ve to this, don't take a commercial at face value.

"Malaysian Palm Oil is good for the environment"??? Bullcrap! You have torn down your forests. Oil Palm plantations do NOT have a diverse biology.
