Well shiver me timbers.

The numbers they are putting out for this year alone are scary high.

Let's hope the pirates drink it all. Filthy stuff, palm oil. Bad for the environment, growing at the expense of more and more virgin forest, and bad for you as it masquerades as a hidden ingredient in 'vegetable oil' but is in fact polysaturated, I believe.

It's also used for detergent, so you can't say it's bad for you in that case.
