@thepoliticalcat It is true that you don't have to be a vegan to boycott palm oil. Anyone can boycott palm oil and so good on you! Altho if you are vegan it helps even more. This is because a significant amount of palm oil and soy is used for animal feed and taken together palm oil, soy and meat deforestation is responsible for around 60% of all of the world's deforestation, which impacts animals, the climate and the air we all breath. So it's a bigger picture thing being vegan and #palmoilfree

@thepoliticalcat Sorry, I have to be an insufferable chocolate nerd now. There is plenty of palm oil free chocolate out there, also in the US. Go for bars from good US chocolate makers, like Dandelion, Theo, Fruition, Pump street bakery, and even the US branch of Zotter. Search for handcrafted, of bean to bar chocolate. True, it's more expensive. But chocolate should be more expensive, to pay everybody in the chain properly. End of "rant". And yes: eat more fruit and veg! 😀

@thepoliticalcat Indeed....these are difficult conversations to have with family members who are very set in their ways!

@thepoliticalcat Come again? I think you have the wrong end of the stick here because my parents are not white and I'm #indigenous but you can shoot your mouth off making all sorts of ignorant assumptions that's hillarious

If you had of read my profile you would have seen that about me so obviously you didnt. Also there's nothing in your profile to indicate where you live, your ethicity or anything so right now you are just babbling nonsense to me.
