Stop The Use of Palm Oil
Palm oil, used in a variety of processed foods and as a component of biodiesel, is found in Malaysia and Indonesia. These countries have, or had, a high population of orangutans, who are now becoming extinct due to the high level of deforestation. As palm oil is high in fatty acids and is found in many processed foods, it is not very healthy and mostly serves as a preservative. If we can stop major food manufacturers from using it as an ingredient, we will stay healthy and help the orangutans keep their natural habitat.
We the undersigned, are asking you to stop using palm oil as an ingredient. The deforestation of palm trees is leading to the extinction of the orangutan and upsetting the natural ecosystem of countries such as Indonesia and Maylasia. When palm forests are cut down, many orangutans, natural tree dwellers, are left without homes. They often die quickly and their young are left defenseless and also perish. If you could eliminate palm oil as an ingredient in your food products, this deforestation could be stopped. Please consider this as an option for the future. Thank you for your time.
