It isn't the oil itself that causes so much damage, it's the production of the oil. Palm oil: good. Clear cutting old growth forests for planting palms: bad.

Good point, I now understand clearly! some of us are so dumb that we need everything to be spelled out for us. Thanks WanderingEng for the info.

Friendly tip: if you're going to ask silly easily-answered questions, don't get surprised and annoyed when you get a simple spelled-out answer.

If you don't understand how palm oil creates an environmental catastrophe, try reading the article above, which is about how palm oil has created an environmental catastrophe.
