00:00:00.000 Hello lads, since many of you are Bloatmax Balkan, at the moment I thought to give a heads up in regards to certain products there among, Oreos Cookies, because I will read something from the webpage of Greenpeace, I've actually started following the activities of Greenpeace as of late, and I will make a separate video about them later on, but let's get over and see what the crack is.
00:00:28.920 Tell big companies to drop dirty palm oil. Time is up for forest-destroying products. Indonesian rainforests are our strongest defense against climate change and home to endangered species like Sumatran tigers, elephants and orangutans. But right now, these precious forests are being ripped to shreds to make way for palm oil plantations, pushing these species to the brink of extinction.
00:00:54.560 Despite knowing this, the makers of Oreo continue to buy palm oil from Vilmar, the dirtiest palm oil giant in the world, for the millions of cookies that are being produced every day.
00:01:08.180 Tell Oreo to stop buying palm oil from rainforest destroyers. Tell them to drop Vilmar.
00:01:13.740 Then you can sign a petition there as well, but there is a much better way to get companies to listen to you.
00:01:20.860 I've said this before, I'll say it again. You vote with your wallet. The simplest way to get a product to disappear is to simply not vote for it, simply not consume it.
00:01:30.640 This is true for whatever product we're talking about. Supply and demand. If there is no demand for a certain product, the supply will not be there anymore.
00:01:40.080 So if no one eats Oreo cookies that contain this sort of palm oil, yeah, if the demand drops, the supply will follow.
00:01:48.180 So therefore, it's the only reasonable cause of action to stop eating Oreos, basically.
00:01:54.020 Now, another thing here you can do is always look at the ingredient list of whatever products you're consuming.
00:02:01.500 And then you can see what is it exactly that I am buying.
00:02:04.960 Because in this particular example, you can see that on one side of the spectrum is you, the consumer.
00:02:09.800 You go into a supermarket and you want to buy some sweets because you're Bloatmax Balkan and you have a bench press session coming up.
00:02:16.660 So then you look at different alternatives and then you see Oreo cookies.
00:02:20.360 But then you also see in the ingredients list that they have palm oil.
00:02:23.300 And then you now know that it comes from a company that basically destroys the habitat for orangutans.
00:02:30.460 Then the link between you as the consumer and the deforestation of this particular area.
00:02:37.700 Yeah, there's a link there.
00:02:38.740 So what you can do is basically cut that link by simply not buying.
00:02:41.540 So if you want some companies to stop doing something, yeah, stop buying.
00:02:47.540 And I must tip my pickle, however, to Greenpeace here for enlightening people about this.
00:02:52.400 I didn't know that Oreos, we don't really have Oreos in Sweden anyway.
00:02:56.780 And I haven't eaten Oreos in several years.
00:02:58.840 So it's not something for me.
00:03:00.560 But if you do are eating Oreos or for that matter any product that contains palm oil.
00:03:06.260 I know a lot of chocolates have palm oil in their ingredient list.
00:03:11.800 So anyway, the conclusion is that you vote with your wallet and don't vote for people who are destroying the planet.
00:03:17.580 Basically, it's absolutely unreasonable that they are cutting down the habitat for orangutans, tigers and elephants.
00:03:24.720 So that they might go extinct for the profit of some crony capitalists and the satisfaction of fat people, basically.
00:03:33.800 So that's my wisdom for the day.
00:03:37.680 Or not my wisdom, actually.
00:03:38.860 It's Greenpeace's wisdom.
00:03:40.620 So shout out to you yet again.
00:03:43.200 XXO, boom!
