The short explanation of this alert was:

Orangutans are literally dying for cookies. Thanks in part to a palm oil trade supported by indifferent corporations and authoritarian regimes, the rainforest habitats of the last remaining Sumatran orangutans, tigers, and rhinoceroses are being destroyed. Wal-Mart and other companies use palm oil in some of their cookies. It’s also found increasingly in crackers, pastries, cereal, and microwave popcorn. Though not as unhealthy as partially hydrogenated oil, palm oil still promotes heart disease.

Please urge Wal-Mart President and CEO Mr. H. Lee Scott, Jr. to reformulate Wal-Mart Great Value and Sam’s Choice house-brand products to make them heart-healthy and environmentally friendly and insist that other brands they sell do the same.
