Did you know that palm oil is the MOST consumed edible oil today? Mrs. Green talks with 3 students from the University of Arizona about its versatility, and how the demand worldwide has tripled over the last few decades. Palm oil is cheap and often substituted for cocoa butter and is semi-solid at room temperature. Found in chocolate, frying oil, baked goods, breakfast cereals, cosmetics, personal care and cleaning products, palm oil is in such demand that much of Southeast Asia, especially Borneo and Sumatra, have grown massive plantations of this crop – all at the very tragic expense of the rainforests and their inhabitants.
