Banning palm oil just doesn’t make sense. Food and cosmetic producers would need to switch to another ingredient that would use more land for cultivation than palm oil.
“Genetically modified crops such as corn, soy and canola require as much as 10 times more land than palm oil.

Thankfully, a large percentage of the nutritious palm oil in our U.S. food supply comes from Malaysia, where it is certified as sustainably produced.”
