I Learned something just now..the following comment was stolen from a friends feed. Organic Palm Shortening is so healthy. This is why its important if your going to use it. Like me.... I buy mine from a company that makes theirs from Eco Friendly farms. Tropical Traditions Organic Palm Shortening comes from small scale family farms in South America. These farmers are certified by ProForest, which ensures that they meet strict social, environmental and technical criteria. With regard to environmental criteria, the assessments are carried out at the landscape and operational level at both the farms and processing facilities. These assessments cover environmental impact on the soil, water, air, biodiversity and local communities. The lands the farmers use are not lands that were deforested. The lands used to grow the palm fruit are lands previously used for agricultural purposes (cattle, rice, banana). Its so important to know how you buy. And I am not sure why cant these companies use Palm Oil from eco Friendly farms? It may cost a bit more but its worth it.
