    How Palm Oil is Both Evil and Good

    Palm oil is objectively evil. You can thank capitalism for that. But it's not that cut and dry. Join us as we try to break down the nuances of palm oil. Every week on Stranger Still, we take the questions you've never questioned to ask and try to answer them. We want to make you laugh and teach you something interesting at the same time. So join us every Wednesday for another fun filled learn! If you've got a strange question you want answered ask us on Facebook, tweet us @StrangerStill, or drop us an email at podcast@strangerstillshow.com Sources: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-019-09646-4 https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/features/Deforestation/deforestation_update3.php https://apnews.com/article/palm-oil-forests-indonesia-scouts-83b01f2789e9489569960da63b2741c4 https://apnews.com/article/virus-outbreak-only-on-ap-indonesia-financial-markets-malaysia-7b634596270cc6aa7578a062a30423bb https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2016/11/palm-oil-global-brands-profiting-from-child-and-forced-labour/ https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/palm-oil https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/giving-up-palm-oil-might-actually-be-bad-environment-180958092/ https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/39492207 https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2018/12/palm-oil-destroying-rainforests-household-items/#close https://www.wwf.org.uk/updates/8-things-know-about-palm-oil https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/palm-oil-health-impact-environment-animals-deforestation-heart-a8505521.html
