        Just because a company has created a product, doesn’t mean that anyone has made a moral judgement. Even if some vegetarians decide to eat this, it still doesn’t mean that all vegetarians agree.

        The things you are doing are destroying something somewhere.

          Right. Try to buy clothing that doesn’t have slavery somewhere in the supply chain. It’s impossible. Same with chocolate.

          I killed some grass to dig a whole to plant a tree.

          We can quantify the harm against the benefit in tons of carbon equivalent added or removed from the air and calculate the net effect.

          Growing vegetarian food is magnitudes less harmful then raising animals for food in almost every ecosystem and species

            Wow a whole hole? You monster.

            Oversimplifying a complicated situation is a great way to show you know nothing about complicated situations.

        I wouldn’t advocate for someone eating palm oil simply for their own personal health. However if you want to talk about the environment way more land is cleared for livestock than oil palm, even if you just focus on the locations where oil palm is grown. And palm oil is usually replacing animal fats in cooking due to it’s saturated fat content, stuff like lard and ghee.

        Quantitatively, eating meat is wayyy worse for the environment, yes.
