Comment on Boycotting palm oil in general is actually bad for the environment in ~enviro
d32 LinkMore personal view: isn't palm oil almost the worst offender of all vegetable oils health-wise??

Look at the default here:
Default Donation
€13.75 to Macmillan Publishers €1.25 to World Central Kitchen €10 to HumbleExtra to Charity
€11.87 to Macmillan Publishers €3.75 to World Central Kitchen €9.37 to HumbleThat's some extra! Charity still gets 3x less than the "humble".
Even if you choose a custom split, there's a minimum of 7.5 to them.
