Palm oil can be bad for deforestation, but so is cattle farming (most forest clearing is for cattle grazing or cattle feed). There is certification around to source palm oil from outside recently cleared forests. In general, plant based diets will almost always beat animal products by a very significant margin.

Palm oil is also bad for farmers, the environment, and the economy

Thankfully I always check ingredients before purchase. Haven’t had my fill of apple pie in months. 😭
The plot thickens!

They only way to get good actual butter pies of any kind these days is to make it yourself, for better or worse.

Depends on where you are. Where I am, we have little farm shops and bakeries that sell frozen pies that are the real deal. Unfortunately that’s very dependent on location but might be worth a look.
