Thank you for all your support and interesting comments.  We have a follow up date scheduled with Kellogg's next month and we will keep you posted re: developments.

See below a really interesting article on the perfect storm that has resulted in the current palm oil crisis and why there is no one easy solution:

Couple of other things worth reading too:

Please keep sharing as we want to build pressure on Kellogg's and other brands to commit to only using palm oil produced in line with the highest standards (50% of it is being wasted as brands refuse to pay the higher price incurred).  As consumers we can apply pressure to companies to do the right thing and make palm oil truly sustainable.

All the best,

Asha, Jia & Harvinder
