Coconut oil

Better, but still about 30% of the productivity per hectare of palm oil, so you’d still be deforesting 3x the land.

Guess we’d better drive several species to extinction, then.

Just saw your edit. Ah, now we’re going the different lands route. Ima just refer you to my other comment here about colonialism.

The alternative is basically to quit wasting so much food and eat fresher, but that’s the part you never hear from the folks telling you to avoid palm oil. Switching to other oils just makes the problem worse.
