bad reputation can harm the whole industry --- This is a good example to show it is in general not the problem of the product -palm oil- but its conditions of production. Still, in the end it's probably also a problem of volume. I can not imagine that growing demands can be fulfilled with real sustainable production. In my entourage palm oil got such a bad reputation that "palm-oil-free" is a nearly a must on the shopping list.
