To be a bit fecked off with Organix

I bought DH some Organix Goodies Gingerbread biscuits the other day.

He doesn't normally have stuff like that but we were going on a long train journey so I got some treaty, snacky bits that I thought might keep him distracted.

I didn't expect them to be healthy or anything, being biscuits after all, but they did say 'no junk' and 'organic' etc so I (stupidly) bought into the packaging and the marketing message etc so was really surprised to see they are full of Palm Oil, which doesn't strike me as being 'good' or sitting with the wholesome, 'no junk' spin they put on stuff.

They make a lot out of their ingredients being sustainable and having minimal environmental impact etc but there is nothing on the website to suggest this palm oil is sustainably sourced.

I appreciate I am an idiot for allowing the branding to make me think they would be 'good' when obviously they are mass produced biscuits but I was still a bit annoyed and felt a bit duped.
