  Isn’t palm oil vegan?

    Nope, it contains bits and pieces of orangutans.

      That doesn’t sound right. But I don’t know enough about orangutans to dispute it.

    It depends on your definition of veganism. There is no animal product in it, but to use it in the quantities we do requires the destruction of a lot of habitat that certain animals require to survive.

    Since veganism is mainly about ethicality, i’d guess not.

      ethicality

      Only when it comes to animals. You can be an almond milk drinking vegan despite the amount of water necessary to make an almond.
