As I understand it the Bank of England is currently considering using palm oil which sounds like no firm decision has been made. Maybe if enough people object on environmental grounds they will have a rethink, perhaps a petition is called for. I agree we should be cutting back on the use of palm oil not increasing it and not just for the sake of Orang Utans but the thousands of other species we have been wiping out over the years because of deforestation. We've wiped out many species even before they have been discovered.

This is a crazy situation that has to stop. All the objectors to the use of tallow whether they be Vegans, Hindus, Sikhs or whatever are merely exercising ther own lifestyle choices, if we have to appease the lifestyle choices of everyone on the planet life would be impossible.
