Naturally Fox's Review |
I've been becoming increasingly concerned about the growth in the use of palm oil in food which often comes from deforested areas of east asia, and constituting the biggest single cause of destruction of the orang utan's habitat.
There is no requirement to label oil as palm oil so it usually appears as vegetable oil on the ingredients list. We all know butter makes a better biscuit than any hydrogenated vegetable oil substitute but it also saves orang utans and rainforests which we all like.

Nicey replies: Yes we raised just that point in our review of Naturally Fox's biscuits which use only butter. Of course, methane gas, a by product of dairy framing can't be overlooked either as it is apparently about 20 times as potent as CO2 in its greenhouse effect.
Still there are lots of interesting things happening in the area of dairy farming such as this methane powered farm
Having just come back from a holiday on a farm in Northern Ireland surrounded by fields of cows this would be a great if some agricultural company could start outfitting farms with this.
