Well, it doesn't have to use allof the rainforest. Palm oil used to be used in cooking, and some people consider it quite healthy. Certainly they should at least be able to use the old plantations or family plots or whatever. There are a lot of places that need to be reforested, including where the rainforest has been cut already. Why not for palm oil...I presume it is some sort of fruit or nut and is a renewable resourcs. Just because you use some doesn't mean it has to provide all of the world's needs. mg
