Any idea that the smear campaigns organized by “environmental organizations” like the Palm Oil Action Group (POA), Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth (FOE), the Rainforest Action Network (RAN) and the infamous Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) purporting to show that palm oil cultivation is responsible for a whole host of environmental issues has any shred of credibility goes right up in smoke under the most cursory examination. Not, that that makes a bit of difference to a mainstream “mediocracy” constantly banging the drum against one of the most productive and sustainable of oilseeds in the world. So what kind of cursory examination?
