It’s time to change the way we eat, one delicious dish at a time!
One of the best (and easiest) ways to improve both your health and the environment is to increase how many plants you eat in comparison to animals and animal products. Eating better (and less) meat is the way forward, as mainstream meat production significantly contributes to deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.
Selfridges luxury department store is committed to tackling deforestation in the food supply chain, which is why Selfridges completely eliminated the use of palm oil in our Selfridges Selection range last year.
“Palm oil itself isn’t inherently bad – in fact, it has a very high yield and is extremely versatile,” explains Jessica Abela, Product Developer at Selfridges.
“The issue lies with the current demand for palm oil, which is causing mass deforestation across Southeast Asia.” Tropical forests have a rich biodiversity and are home to many species (including some near extinction), and these forests are currently being drained and burned to make way for the planting of palm. This destroying of carbon-rich soil and the releasing of carbon into the atmosphere is contributing to climate change.
