Writig dow your itetio to do somethig or go somewhere makes it more real Rather tha makig New Year resolutios that will have faded by mid Jauary, make a list of your plas for the etire year of 2017 by writig them dow. Set a goal, make a pla ad assig a date of whe to do it or whe you wat to have doe it by. List them i order of priority or by how much time you eed to prepare for them. Take a look at your plas ad fid where your weak spots are be hoest ad true to yourself. Make sure you do t fall ito the trap of oly wishig for somethig. It s true that whe you fail, you wo t be disappoited, but it also meas that you ll ever make progress. Aim to make 2017 your best year yet. COOK UP A STORM! Sittig o your sofa watchig Bake Off or Masterchef is all well ad good but ow s the time to get ito the kitche ad do it yourself. With so may hotels ad istitutes offerig cookig courses from begier to advaced, family meals or cookig for oe, there has ever bee a better time to forget those ready meals i the freezer ad start preparig utritious dishes i a rage of styles usig fresh ad uusual igrediets. GET CREATIVE! Ever thought you might have missed your vocatio i life, or just did t dare to allow yourself to try ad be creative? There are so may classes these days that ecourage total begiers to try pottery, paitig, eve writig a book or actig. Your fear ad self-doubt is the heaviest detrimet to your creativity. It ca be a achor o your imagiative thoughts. There is othig to lose - it s ever too late to just jump i ad play. Ad go i with childlike curiosity. ENTER A RACE! Okay, you might ot be Usai Bolt or Bradley Wiggis, but there s o eed to be a shrikig violet either. If you ejoy sports, why ot go olie ad fid a race or evet that will challege you, push you out of your comfort zoe ad perhaps to your limit? There is o better feelig tha oe of coquerig somethig you thought impossible. Ad it does t have to be summitig Everest either, a small goal is better tha o goal at all. Choose your evet, push that butto to ENTER ad you are committed. Go for it i GO SOMEWHERE NEW! We all love familiarity ad routie, it s part of what makes us huma. But 2017 might be the year to ope up a atlas, close your eyes ad radomly prod your figer oto the map. Wherever it lads, that s where you go! Travel is the best educatio i life, take your kids ad explore the world, its people, culture ad traditios. Do t be put off if there s o kid s club or Eglish meu.

9 Jauary 2017 Issue 38 It s a give that Christmas is a period of over idulgece, but ow s the time to get back o track ad kick your metabolism back ito gear... detox recipe corer 9

10 Jauary 2017 Issue 38 detox recipe corer Natural Fruit Smoothie Fruit smoothies are a delicious way to detox, ad oe of the most atural driks to add to your daily routie. I order to detox your body you eed to eat foods that ot oly help purge the toxis, but also provide it with the vitamis ad mierals it eeds to fuctio at its best. Berries are your fried whe it comes to detoxig because of all the atioxidats ad fibre they cotai. Atioxidats are cosistetly liked with health beefits ragig from cacer prevetio to heart disease prevetio, to ati-iflammatory properties. It s basically a ame give to somethig we already iheretly kow: healthy foods are good for us! I this smoothie you re gettig lots of them, plus some healthy fat from the cocout milk for a satisfyig smoothie. Blueberries are just packed with atioxidats, but you ca use most fresh or froze berries for a detox wier. Igrediets:1 1 / 2 cups mixed berries fresh or froze, mit leaves, dried goji berries, fresh cocout, almods, 1 / 2 cup usweeteed cocout milk, a splash of usweeteed almod milk, 1 cup water, 1 / 8 cup rolled oats Method: Just pop everythig ito a bleder or Nutribullet ad whizz util you reach a smoothie cosistecy. The beauty of berries is their easy prep. Fresh berries eed a rise before goig i, while froze you just pop right i. Whe detoxig or eatig raw, orgaic produce is always recommeded. Top with some dried goji berries, fresh berries, a geerous gratig of fresh cocout, mit leaves ad chopped almods for cruch. Serve ad drik immediately. All about berries... Store berries i the fridge as soo as possible after purchase. Keep the puet upright ad hadle carefully to avoid bruisig. It is importat that berries are brought to room temperature before eatig; this brigs out the fullest flavours i the fruit. Always wash your berries before you eat them. Whe buyig blackberries, look for plump, deep purple berries. The colour should be dark ad cosistet ad there should ot be too may red drupelets o the berries. A little juice i the puet is harmless ad will make for sweet ad ripe berries. Blackberries are ready ripeed whe you buy them. 10

11 Jauary 2017 Issue 38 Super Gree Salad Forget the juice clease, this super gree detox salad is full of vitamis ad utriets, ad topped with a mouthwaterig gree healthy dressig. Perfect for a clease. Do t forgo solid food. If you wat to get back o track, detox, ad feel better, try a salad clease. That s right. Eat real food that will actually ourish you ad also make you feel healthier. Use it as a opportuity to clear out your fridge. Everythig-but-the-kitche-sik salads are a great way to use up your (healthier) holiday leftovers like the fresh herbs, veggies from a crudité platter. Try roastig your veggies. Sprayed with oil, they are flavourful ad satisfyig. May vegetables take about 15 to 20 miutes i a 200 C ove. There may eve be veggies you ca t stad raw that are amazig whe roasted, cooled to room temperature, ad tossed with salad dressig ad grees. Try gree beas, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, ad mushrooms. detox recipe corer Igrediets: 1 cucumber, froze soy beas, froze peas, asparagus spears, 1 gree bell pepper, mit leaves, mixed leaves like rocket, watercress, baby spiach etc., 1 Tbsp hemp seeds, 1 Tbsp suflower seeds, 1 Tbsp pumpki seeds. Dressig: 1 avocado, ¼ cup water, 1 Tbsp lemo juice, 1 Tbsp soy sauce or tamari, ½ Tbsp agave ectar, cup fresh coriader, cup fresh parsley, ½ Tbsp fresh oregao, salt, a grid of black pepper Method: Start by makig the dressig. Add all igrediets ito a bleder ad bled util smooth. Chop cucumber ad bell pepper. Blach the asparagus, beas ad peas ad chill i iced water. To assemble the salad, mix the grees, mit, bell pepper, ad cucumber, chilled asparagus, beas ad peas. Top with sprouts ad sprikle with all the seeds. Toss together getly ad top with as much dressig as desired. Avocado... Not oly are avocados delicious, but they offer up a extra large heapig of fibre, which is excellet for keepig your digestio flowig ad for cleasig the colo. The high fat cotet i avocados helps reduce your cravigs for uhealthy foods by keepig you full ad satisfied. I additio, the vitamis ad mierals i these deliciously gree fruits give your body what it eeds for overall good health. 11

12 Jauary 2017 Issue 38 detox recipe corer Buckwheat Cocout Chia Pud For some of us, it s just o good to try ad go cold turkey o our puddigs. Satisfy your cravig without that build you up rather tha cause you ay harm. This puddig is the perfect bled betwee a smoothie ad a classic puddig, easy to make, easy to digest ad deliciously tasty. The texture has creamiess but there is still a slightly chuky side to satisfy. Buckwheat is t a cereal, but a edible seed of a plat related to rhubarb, that s why it makes the perfect glute-free replacemet for rice ad cereals i dishes like salads, risotto or puddigs. Buckwheat is loaded with mierals (magaese, magesium, copper, phosphorus) but also with fibre ad flavooids, makig it a excellet igrediet for a ourishig meal. Flavooids are phytoutriets that act like atioxidats ad protect the cardiovascular system from bad cholesterol deposits ad help maitaiig blood flow. Igrediets: 1 cup buckwheat, soaked overight, ½ cup lite cocout milk (I use homemade *it does t cotai ay additives or sugars), 2 tsp raw agave ectar, 1 mago, peeled ad cut i cubes, Mixed seeds ad uts, for toppig Method: Place the buckwheat, cocout milk ad agave ectar i the bleder ad pulse to obtai a smooth paste. Distribute evely ito servig bowls, top with mago cubes ad mixed uts ad seeds Serve right away or pack to-go. BUCKWHEAT & Chia... Maybe buckwheat is ot your first choice whe it comes to puddigs ad porridges, but if you step out of your oats-comfort-zoe you will see there are other igrediets that make a great job at replacig oats. It gives a utty flavour, it s loaded with utriets ad it is glute-free. Soak overight, bled ad that s it! Raw, glute-free ad ourishig. Chia seeds are easy to digest whe prepared properly, ad are a very versatile igrediet that adds easily to recipes. The chia seed is utriet dese ad packs a puch of eergy boostig power. Chia seed beefits iclude promotig healthy ski, reducig sigs of agig, supportig the heart ad digestive system, buildig stroger boes ad muscles ad more. 12

13 Jauary 2017 Issue 38 the goodess witer of grees Witer brigs with it all those deep dark utriet packed grees, but how do you make them more palatable for the whole family? 13

14 Jauary 2017 Issue 38 Stamppot I have it o good authority that Dutch people like to either: mash the heck out of somethig, boil the life out of somethig, or deep-fry thigs to death! O the plus side, the mashed oe is ot half bad if you have the right igrediets ad gravy. Stamppot or Mash pot is a traditioal Dutch dish made from a combiatio of potatoes mashed with oe or several other vegetables or sometimes fruits like baaa or pieapple. These vegetable pairigs traditioally iclude sauerkraut, edive, kale, spiach, turip grees, or carrot ad oio - the combiatio of the latter two is kow as hutspot i the Netherlads ad as wortelstoemp i Belgium. Leafy grees such as edive may be left raw ad added to the potatoes oly at the mashig stage. Some regioal varieties of stamppot are made with fruit ad potatoes, such as blauwe bliksem (blue lightig), made with pears, ad hete bliksem (hot lightig), made with apples. Stamppot is usually served with sausage (i the Netherlads ofte smoked, i Belgium more ofte fried), julieed lardos, or stewed meat. Other accompaimets iclude cheese, gherkis, uts or pickled oios. It is primarily a cold-weather dish as it is hearty ad fillig, just the thig for tacklig the bitterly cold wids ad icy temperatures; though some varieties are eate all year-roud. Prepared stamppot ca be purchased from shops ad supermarkets ad it ca also be ordered i cafe-style restaurats, but it is such a simple dish there s really o eed to go out ad buy it. Eve the most culiary challeged could maage a simple stamppot. The origi of stamppot is ukow, although leged attributes the ivetio of hutspot to Usig raw leafy vegetables istead of cookig them with the potatoes has ot bee dated to earlier tha There are two methods of preparig stamppot, the first beig the more moder form: Prepared by boilig the vegetables ad potatoes separately, the potatoes are the added to the same pot as the vegetables ad all are thoroughly mashed together. Rookworst, a type of smoked sausage, is the preferred piece of meat to be added to the dish i the Netherlads. Stamppot ca also be made i a sigle pot. Potatoes, oios, ad the vegetable or fruit of choice are peeled ad placed i the pot with the sausage. Water is added, ad the mixture is left to boil. After the vegetables are cooked ad draied, some milk, butter ad salt are added, ad the vegetables are mashed together. How simple could a healthy dish get. Lardos (spekjes) are ofte added for a salty flavourig. It is also commo to make a small hole i the top of the mix o the plate ad fill it with gravy, kow i Dutch as a kuiltje jus (little gravy pit). 14

15 Jauary 2017 Issue 38 If you have ot tried kale yet, ow is defiitely the time. This super gree leafy vegetable is packed to the max with utritio that puts it high o the list of the world s healthiest foods. Eve spiach caot come close i compariso to the umber of utriets that kale provides. The reaso this particular igrediet may ot be a regular oe i your diet might be that the taste is a little bitter - dark gree leaves are usually the most bitter tastig. But with some simple culiary magic, you ca make this superfood palatable for the whole family. Try makig stamppot ad you will be amazed how may more of your family might come to love it. Icludig kale i your diet provides utriets that support healthy ski, hair ad boes, as well as healthy digestio ad a reduced risk of heart disease. Other possible health beefits of kale iclude improvig blood glucose cotrol i diabetics, lowerig the risk of cacer, lowerig blood pressure ad lowerig the risk of developig asthma. Diabetes Studies have show that people with type 1 diabetes who cosume high-fibre diets have lower blood glucose levels ad that people with type 2 diabetes may have improved blood sugar, lipids ad isuli levels o a high-fibre diet. Oe cup of chopped fresh kale (about 16 grams) provides 0.6 grams of fibre. A cup of cooked kale (about 130 grams) provides 2.6 grams of fibre. (Dietary Guidelies recommed g/day for wome ad g/day for me). Heart disease The fibre, potassium, vitami C ad B6 foud i kale all support heart health. A icrease i potassium itake alog with a decrease i sodium itake is the most importat dietary chage that a perso ca make to reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease. High potassium itakes are also associated with a reduced risk of stroke, protectio agaist loss of muscle mass, preservatio of boe mieral desity ad reductio i the formatio of kidey stoes. Boe health Low itakes of vitami K have bee associated with a higher risk for boe fracture. Adequate vitami K cosumptio is importat for good health, as it acts as a modifier of boe matrix proteis, improves calcium absorptio ad may reduce uriary excretio of calcium. 15

21 Jauary 2017 Issue 38 tredig i headig for our supermarket shelves this year Ever tried black rice risotto? A bowl of acai or a head of purple cauliflower? Purple defiitely seems to be the i colour for food i 2017, but what else is ew. It seems that purple foods are ot just a fashio fad, ad are actually packed with atural health beefits. The beefits of atioxidats have log bee discussed, but they are kow to fight disease, keep you lookig youger, reduce iflammatio ad are good for your heart. Accordig to experts from Whole Foods, who examied cosumer behaviour globally across 465 stores, our plates are goig to look very colourful this year, with purple foods i particular expected to fly off the shelves. I a olie statemet, the health food compay described the pheomeo as a fast growig tred. They said: Richly coloured purple foods are poppig up everywhere: purple cauliflower, black rice, purple asparagus, elderberries, acai, purple sweet potatoes, purple cor ad cereal. Essetially, the darker the colour of a food, the higher the cotets of atioxidats ad utriets will be, ad the healthier the food. But ot oly is colour a key tred for Nutritio, sustaiability ad autheticity is high o the ageda, ad cosumers are seekig to rediscover traditioal cookig methods ad explore global cuisies - it seems that restaurats ad packaged food compaies are takig ote. Chickpeas, cor, legumes ad fugi are fast becomig a meat replacemet appealig to vegas ad carivores alike. For people who do t wat to elimiate meat from their diet but might wat to eat it less ofte there are optios like meatless barbecue ribs, pepperoi ad teriyaki jerky that resemble their couterpart cuts i taste ad texture but are made from plat-based foods. Meat is ifused with beet juice so it looks almost like a bloody cosistecy - it gets the salivary glads goig i meat eaters because they see it s juicy ad bloody. Cosumers ad compaies alike are also beig more creative with what they waste. By reducig food waste ad repurposig typically tossed-out stems, skis ad rids we ca make food go further ad stop the vast amout of waste we see every day o a global scale. The less we waste, the less we have to grow, the fewer resources we use. It all goes to make huma habitatio o earth more sustaiable. For example, watermelo rids are beig made ito pickles, cauliflower rice is made usig the stem, which is somethig that ordiarily would ed up i the bi. A compay called Forager Project has idetified a use for the wasted pulp from productio of cold-pressed juices by maufacturig orgaic tortilla chips cotaiig the utritious by-product. Alterative-grai oodles are also growig i popularity. Made from a variety of plat-based products such as quioa, letils, ad chickpeas, spiralized veggies, ad kelp they are a great alterative for sesitive stomachs. Cocout will be oe of the hottest igrediets of Such a versatile crop, the cocout is a all-roud provider of utriets ad healthy fats as well as useable by-products from the waste. You ca ow fid cocout flour tortillas, cocout sugar amios, ad cocout chips, amog a plethora of other ew ad excitig cocout products. The ogoig migratio of refugees to a umber of wester Europea coutries is likely to ispire uique fusios of flavour ad heritage. The cuisie of the Middle Easter led by Persia iflueces such as pomegraate, sour cherries, sumac, feugreek, orage ad rose blossom are goig to lead a excitig bledig of cuisies i Europe so we ca look forward to some amazig combiatios to fially move away from the less exotic kebab ad humble hommous. Fially, the chocolate lovers amog you might soo be wakig up to their guilty pleasure for breakfast. The Frech have bee icludig it their pai au chocolat for ceturies so it s a surprise to read it is a upcomig tred but evertheless recet studies likig dark chocolate cosumptio to positive health beefits may ecourage more cosumers to idulge i the morigs. 21

22 Jauary 2017 Issue 38 head chef suil 22

23 Jauary 2017 Issue 38 a day i the life of... Chef Suil, head chef with Lavada for 5 years My ame is Suil Kumar, I am workig i Lavada for five years as a head chef. I have bee i hotel ad restaurat idustry for 24 years. I chose cookig as a professio for oe reaso ad that is that it is easy to fid job ay corer of the world, gradually it grows to a passio. I tried to lear more about various cuisies ad igrediets by readig books ad researchig the iteret for world famous chefs ad their restaurats such as Jacques Pépi, Thomas Keller ad Gordo Ramsay. For 20years I have lived i Abu Dhabi ad I have leared a lot - especially Arabic, Mediterraea, Lebaese, Egyptia ad Europea cuisie. I thik it is great asset for me to get the chace to work with good chefs. I believe that sharig kowledge is importat i this idustry. A ormal workig day for me starts at 7am, whe the fresh produce delivery is waitig for me for ispectio ad receivig, after that I check the clealiess of the kitche ad make a quick ispectio of the chillers ad freezer. I make a ote of what meat fish, poultry ad cheese products eed to be ordered ad the I give a short briefig about that day s luch ad dier buffet ad special dish of the day to the staff. From the the restaurat becomes busy for breakfast service. At 11am luch begis with our daily buffet ad the a la carte meu. Usually the dier buffet cotais roast meat ad grilled fish so that has all to be prepared i advace. We refer to our 20 staff members as a team because this job is all about teamwork - each oe with their ow importat ad itegral role. Our kitche is ope to the restaurat so I ca always look out o the gusts durig service. I ca tell whether our customers are ejoyig their food or ot jot by lookig at their faces. It is very obvious, there is o eed to ask. We are always listeig to the customer ad we make the ecessary chages i meu withi the limitatio of equipmet ad igrediets accordig to those commets. Popular items stay o the meu as they are what customers retur for. Oce they ejoy a dish it is importat to keep it cosistet - that keeps people comig back for more. I like to eat ad cook stir fry. It is healthy, utritious, easy to make ad simple to prepare. Vegetables, chicke, meat ad seafood, you ca make quickly this way, especially whe you are aloe ad with o time for complicated cookig. Simply with garlic ad olive oil or soy ad sesame oil or gree chilli, oio, mustard ad curry powder. As a chef, Frech America Chef Jacques Pépi is my role model. His cookig is simple ad as perso he is ucomplicated. I like the cookig of chef Gordo Ramsay ad Marco Pierre White but their shoutig would make paic i the kitche. My mother was great cook ad I heard that my gradfather was also cookig well, but my father is a retired teacher ad cookig was ot a professio for ay family members before myself. For the future of a restaurat as a chef you wat look at the surroudigs ad guests iterest of your food. Never go for short cuts, always search for fresh ad great igrediets for the best price. Igrediets are the most importat. You ca t make great dishes with poor igrediets. 23

The islad historically had extesive raiforest cover, but the area has bee reduced due to heavy loggig ad ow palm oil platatios are rapidly ecroachig o the last remats of primary raiforest. 34

35 Jauary 2017 Issue 38 Flyig over Sabah, Malaysia Boreo, I was excited to see the mass of tropical raiforest beeath me. Stretchig out as far as the eye could see, a gree mass of lush vegetatio, the habitat of so much wildlife, I could barely cotai myself. Util the propeller plae made its descet to prepare for ladig, where that wild gree mass slowly came ito focus becomig a ordered, row upo row, uiform blaket of trees. These were palm oil platatios. Virgi raiforest cleared first by loggig ad ow by corporatios producig palm oil o a massive scale. More tha 30 percet of Boreo s raiforests have ow bee destroyed over the past forty years due to fires, idustrial loggig, ad the spread of these palm oil platatios. Today, just over a quarter of Boreo s lowlad forests remai itact. 35

36 36 We headed from Lahad Datu overlad to the Daum Valley, oe of the few remaiig areas of primary raiforest. Coverig 43,800 hectares, the Daum Valley Coservatio Area is oe of the largest, most importat ad best-protected expases of pristie lowlad forest remaiig i SE Asia. O its easter border is the Daum Valley Field Cetre probably the leadig raiforest research cetre i the Old World tropics. The Boreo raiforest is 140 millio years old, makig it oe of the oldest raiforests i the world. There are about 15,000 species of flowerig plats with 3,000 species of trees (267 species are dipterocarps), 221 species of terrestrial mammals ad 420 species of residet birds i Boreo, ad about 440 freshwater fish species - it is the cetre of the evolutio ad distributio of may edemic species of plats ad aimals, makig it oe of the most excitig research areas for scietists o earth. The Boreo raiforest is also oe of the few remaiig atural habitats for the edagered Borea oraguta. It is a importat refuge for may edemic forest species, icludig the Boreo pygmy elephat, the easter Sumatra rhioceros, the Borea clouded leopard, the Hose s palm civet ad the dayak fruit bat. By sequestratig carbo, these raiforests are actig as a importat Carbo sik ad cotribute to reducig the cocetratio of Carbo i the atmosphere. They also serve to sigificatly buffer floodig, to maitai water quality ad to sustai local commuities ad idigeous people. Deforestatio started to accelerate betwee More roud wood has bee harvested from Boreo tha from Africa ad the Amazo combied. So why is this happeig so quickly ow? Oil. But ot the oe we drill for. Palm oil is a edible vegetable oil high i saturated fats ad free of tras fats ad is grow o the oil palm tree (Elaeis guieesis) a ative to West Africa later imported ito SE Asia i the mid 19th cetury. Oil palm flourishes i the humid tropics ad produces high yield whe grow 10 degrees orth ad south of the equator. Palm fruit develops i dese buches weighig 10kg or more ad cotaiig more tha a thousad idividual fruits similar i size to a small plum which tree produces 2 types of oil. Palm oil (PO) is obtaied from the flesh of the fruit ad Palm Kerel Oil (PKO) is produced by extractig the oil from the iteral seed (Kerel). Every oil palm tree requires approximately 3m diameter clear aroud the base of each tree to allow full growth. Oil palm is highly productive crop which is capable of yieldig more oil from less lad tha ay other vegetable oil i existece. Oe oil palm tree will produce ogoig fruit for up to 30 years deemig the crop as high yieldig ad sustaiable. Palm Oil is used i aroud 50% of products cosumers purchase ad use o a daily basis. Palm Oil ad derivatives otherwise kow as fractios of the oil are used i the maufacture of prepackaged food, cosmetics, cleaig products, hair care, soaps ad persoal care items. Palm Wax is used i the maufacture of cadles. Palm Oil is also used to maufacture bio fuel ad has become what is called the gree fuel optio for motor vehicles, shippig ad aircraft fuel. Palm is also used as feed for livestock amed as palm kerel cake (PKC) which is a by-product of palm kerel oil. PKC is cosidered a medium grade protei feed used to fatte cattle ad other livestock.

39 So, what s wrog with palm oil? Idoesia is beig deforested faster tha ay other coutry i the world, ad it has everythig to do with oe product: palm oil. Large areas of tropical forests ad other ecosystems with high coservatio values have bee cleared to make room for oil palm platatios, essetially killig the biodiversity of the ecosystems that they replace. May platatios i SE Asia are o peat soils, which util recetly were covered by peat swamp forests. The draiage of these carbo-rich orgaic soils for platatios is causig massive greehouse gas emissios. The cheapest ad fastest way to clear lad for platatios is slash ad bur, sedig suffocatig smog to cities hudreds of miles away. Clearig raiforest to make way for platatios has take a heavy toll o local commuities, destroyed atural habitats for edagered species, ad become a critical factor i climate chage. Replacig atural forests with palm oil platatios vastly dimiishes the ability of vegetatio to capture ad store carbo dioxide. It s estimated that deforestatio cotributes up to 20 percet of global warmig. Idoesia ad Malaysia accout for aroud 87% of global palm oil productio ad the demad for the cheap oil cotiues to grow. Accordig to WWF (World Wildlife Fud) there are approximately 20 millio hectares of abadoed lad i Idoesia that could be used for palm oil platatios, however, may palm oil compaies are tied i with loggig firms. Timber is extremely valuable, therefore clearig virgi forest they get moey twice, oce for the timber ad agai for the produce from the oil palm trees. Palm oil ad species extictio Quote Take from COP (Cetre For Oraguta Protectio) Oragutas poachig is doe deliberately as a policy made by palm oil corporatios. Therefore they hire local people as pest busters, who serve the corporatio with killig ay wild aimals, icludig oragutas, which spoil palm oil trees withi the platatios. The pest busters will brig up a cut-off had of a oraguta they have k illed ad had it to the corporatio as a proof. Whe they fid a adult female oraguta with her baby, they will usually kill the mother ad take away the baby for pet or sale. It is estimated that over 50 Oraguta are killed every week due to deforestatio. Forest homes are cleared by either heavy machiery or fire. Oragutas are left starved with o food source ad ofte t rapped i pockets of isolated areas with o way out ad ofte w ader oto platatios searchig for food. The oraguta are cosidered a pest by may of the oil palm compaies as they ofte destroy youg palm plats i the hope of fidig food. They are ru over by excavatio equipmet, doused i petrol ad bur t alive, captured, tortured, beate, shot with air gus or slaughtered. As f orest home is destroyed they become vulerable to poac hers. 39

41 The lush protected Daum Valley is ecroached upo by the ever-growig platatios Ifat oragutas have moetary value ad are ofte kept as pets or illegally smuggled, the oly way a mother will let go of her ifat is if she has bee killed. Huma, elephat coflict is becomig more commo as habitat is cleared for oil palm. Platatios ad local villages ofte poiso the elephats ad sare traps are also set i the forests ear the areas they are ecroachig. Tusks of the elephats are ofte removed to give the impressio to authorities that the deaths were due to ivory trade rather tha lad ecroachmet. Tiger ad Rhio umbers are so low due to habitat loss ad poachig that their extictio is rapidly earig ad we caot let this happe. Where is palm oil used? The food idustry is resposible for 72% world wide usage of palm oil. Palm derived igrediets used i persoal care ad cleaig products are resposible for 18% of world wide usage. Biofuel ad feedstock is resposible for 10% of world wide palm oil usage. Why do brads use palm oil i their products? Palm oil is the cheapest of vegetable oils. Due to pressure from large supermarket chais for products to sell at a low price, cookig oil is oe of the areas where price cuts ca be made to allow for profit margi. Palm oil is also a very blad cookig oil so it does ot affect the taste of products. Palm oil also icreases shelf life of pre- packaged food ad fially, the oil has a very high smoke poit so it is perfect for rapid fryig products such as 2 mi oodles etc. Persoal care ad cleaig products use palm oil for differet reasos. Palm oil is extremely versatile ad is used to maufacture may igrediets due to its high fatty acid cotet which is required to maufacture emulsifiers ad surfactats. So how may supermarket brads use palm oil i shampoo & coditioer? Truth is, every sigle brad of shampoo ad coditioer sold i supermarkets USES PALM OIL however the palm cotet is hidde uder various ames... there are over 200 ames for palm oil derived igrediets. So should you boycott products that cotai palm oil? The aswer is ot simple, but... Yes AND No. Not all palm oil is bad. Not all palm oil is wipig out habitat ad killig edagered species. Palm oil ca be farmed ad produced i a resposible ad ethical maer ad cosumers ca help by pressurig brads to oly source ethically produced palm oil. 41

42 Jauary 2017 Issue Support the brads that are sourcig resposibly ad avoid brads that are ot. If cosumers do t support brads that are doig the right thig with their sourcig the the brads that are ot are ot goig to be ecouraged to chage to ethical supply. I regard to the food idustry palm oil is relatively easy to replace i may products, however food products that eed emulsifiers it is ot that easy. Whe it comes to persoal care products ad cosmetics, it is ear impossible to maufacture these without the use of palm oil derived igrediets ad still have them perform well. Apart from persoal satisfactio, boycottig products usig palm oil will actually achieve very little to overall scheme of thigs. Palm oil is ot goig away o matter how much cosumers try to boycott. Cosumers also eed to uderstad that it is ear impossible to live completely palm oil free. Palm oil is ot oly i food products, it is also i hair care, cleaig products ad cosmetics right dow to the moisturisig strips o razors, wax used o cardboard fruit boxes, yeast used i breads, feed for livestock, coatig to stop products stickig together, art supplies such as some brads of oil pastilles ad paits. Palm oil is also sometimes used to lubricate machiery. Just because you ca t see palm oil labelled it does ot mea that its ot there. Palm oil productio has become a importat source of icome ad a major part of the ecoomy i the regios where it is grow, providig livelihoods for local commuities ad helpig to lift people out of poverty. If we were to switch to aother oil seed crop, more lad would be required to produce the same amout of oil. So, how do we make a chage? We all eed to support the brads that are sourcig ethically ad place pressure of the brads that are ot. Make cotact with brads that are ot usig fully certified palm oil or have a No Deforestatio Policy i place ad ecourage them to do the right thig.
