| Panorama - Next Monday | | Next Monday's Panorama programme looks as though it could be interesting. Its about the loss of rainforest for the production of Palm Oil and what it is used in - its called Dying for a Biscuit - Raphael Rowe journeys into the rainforest of Borneo, where he uncovers evidence of palm oil companies developing planatations on protected land.

I saw the trailer for this last night and agree it looks really interesting, although in all honesty I don't think I actually want to watch it! I've worked out that the best way to avoid palm oil is to cook in as unprocessed a way as possible. It seems to me that most of the palm oil is used in processed foods of some sort, so if we make our own things from scratch then we avoid it.
| I quite agree about cooking from scratch and do this as much as possible. Unfortunately as someone who has to have a wheat free diet sometimes it is very difficult to avoid all foods using palm oil but I do my best! I am currently experimenting with my own recipies using gluten free flours etc, some turn out better than others!
