It’s important to avoid palm oil as much as possible and not just accept its inevitability in products. Not only are animals displaced by deforestation for palm oil plantations, animals who survive the fires are at terrible risk of being killed or captured for the wildlife trade, which flourishes in Asia. Wild animals who look for food on palm oil plantations are ruthlessly persecuted. “Responsibly sourced” just means the planters’ practices are relatively better or worse. Palm oil is technically vegan, but it is not vegan in terms of causing no harm to living creatures.
