      Palm oil is bad because rainforest is burned down to grow more monoculture palm oil. https://wwf.panda.org/discover/our_focus/food_practice/sustainable_production/palm_oil/

        This basically describes all agricultural:

        1. Clear wild land
        2. Implement monoculture

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

        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.
