American cookie eaters are only 3% of the world’s cookie eating population, but consume 95% of the Oreos.
You wanna make something of it? You wanna piece of my Oreo?

"The growing use of palm oil in biofuels has made the problem even more urgent."
The only relevant thing in this article. Buried in paragraph 11.
These are the same people who demand we drop petroleum and power everything with "renewable" biofuels. Well, that's what's driven the increased demand for palm oil which has the highest (yet still pathetic) yields of oil per acre of currently-used biodiesel plants.
Therefore, these same people are themselves the ones responsible for the increased destruction of rainforests, not Nabisco. How ironic, yet how expected.
