amberino21 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 What about coconut oil? I think palm oil is ok, but I've avoided it for environmental reasons.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Palm oil harvest is very damaging for animals in the rain forests, especially endangered species like orangutans. Not very vegan in an ethical sense. Coconut oil will sub for shortening in many recipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
