Planet Palm: How Palm Oil Ended Up in Everything--And Endangered the World by Jocelyn C. Zuckerman

4.0

This book was a little depressing but also very informative. A good reminder of why consumers need to opt for palm oil-free products on store shelves and why we have to stop voting politicians into office that don't believe the science behind climate change. The insights the author offered in her epilogue, written during the Covid-19 pandemic was my favourite part of the book. I found that up until then there hadn't been much emotion infused in the chapters. Overall I found it to be a little dry but I still think it's an important read for anyone wanting to learn about the environmental destruction taking place in some very important ecological regions on earth.
