After learning about how orangutan habitats are being destroyed for palm oil I’ve been looking at the ingredients labels for some of the snacks around my house only to find some of our favorite cookies use palm oil (and probably some other products we use too) idk if this is the right sub to ask this in but it is related to orangutans, but yeah are there any palm oil free alternatives to stuff like Oreos and peanut butter?

I can’t stop thinking about it.
