Seriously? Worst company in the world? Come on. They’re responding to demand. If Cargill doesn’t buy the palm oil, another importer/distributor will. Sure, educate customers regarding the impacts of their purchases, but “worst company in the world” is just trolling. It’s this kind of partisan over-the-top hyperbole that turns people off and, IMHO, gets dudes like Trump elected.

The hyperbole is quite annoying. I can easily think of worse companies than Cargill.
What's partisan about it?
Voting for a racist that puts babies in concentration camps is a fairly extreme overreaction to someone criticizing the environmental impact of a company to say the least.
Please don't use HN for partisan flamewar. It's exactly the opposite of what this site is for.

Babies in concentration camps? I thought it was all brown people in ovens and all women in kitchens.
