Interesting article. One thing to note is that this study seemed to (correct me if I'm wrong) focus on palmitic acid, which can be found primarily in palm oil, but can also be found in meat, cheese, and butter, to name a few other sources.
It's also the most abundant fatty acid in you, even if you don't eat any.
There's also a skeleton inside you right now! Spooky.
i say that as i consume primarily meat and cheese on a daily basis.
Makes me think twice about having yan yan snacks and pocky's.
The problem is that yes, it takes less land, but the land that it can be suitably grown on is very important for other things.
