Gushers: Use Sustainable Palm Oil
Join me to call upon General Mills to make the switch to more sustainably farmed palm oil, or to do away with palm oil entirely through use of a more environmentally friendly oil.
Why is this important?
As someone who enjoys gushers, I think it's fairly simple to understand why they're so popular. However, given that gushers are a lunchbox favorite around America, and that General Mills is a multimillion dollar corporation, it's quite surprising to find out that they do NOT practice sustainable farming habits to aquire the palm oil which they use for their Fruit Gushers. Join me in calling upon CEO Harmening and making sure lunchtime treats don't come at the cost of degrading the forests of Malaysia and Borneo.
