Palm oil is not an unhealthy oil, it's only when it's hydrogenated. Any oil that is hydrogenated then contains trans fats, and it's these that are incredibly bad for us. If they could find a way to commercially produce it without disturbing orangutans and their habitat I see nothing wrong with it. Same for coconut oil. Demonised in the past but now they know it is really good for us.
