If I’m not mistaken palm oil is the best of the worst. It is fast growing in contrast to the alternatives meaning we’d clear much more rain forest if we were to boycott it straight away. We have to remember to have an alternative on hand every time we propose a boycott of something that’s not easily omitted from use.
Only it wasn’t palm fat until recently. Shittiest oil on the planet, they’re destroying SO much rain forest and replacing it with palms.
Propaganda / marketing, but still interesting:

Rapeseed (canola) oil doesn’t destroy rain forests. Sunflower oil doesn’t destroy rain forests. Palm oil is the worst.
