BOYCOTT CADBURYS

Most of us buy too many products containing palm oil. It is difficult to work out what is palm oil free, so, for all of you feeling guilty about buying products made with palm oil I would suggest this simple action plan...
DO NOT BUY ANYTHING MADE BY CADBURYS.
There are so many other chocolate bars that you can buy so it really shouldn't be too painful.

Loads of chocolate contains palm oil.

Igotthemheavyboobs · 03/11/2019 22:51

Palm oil tastes grim too. I haven't bought Cadburys for ages, I was devastated when I tasted their Rose's after the change Sad

PurpleDaisies · 03/11/2019 22:52

Poster too soon. Just boycotting Cadburys will make no difference at all.

Igotthemheavyboobs · 03/11/2019 22:53

Loads of chocolate contains palm oil no excuse, they should all be boycotted.

If vegetarians can manage to read every jelly pack 5o see its ingredients, it shouldn't be that hard to check your products for palm oil. Tis one ingredient!

PurpleDaisies · 03/11/2019 22:54

no excuse, they should all be boycotted.

There what I meant. Just boycotting Cadburys is too simplistic.

Igotthemheavyboobs · 03/11/2019 22:55

Just boycotting Cadburys will make no difference at all apologies, just saw your update. Agreed, we should all make a stand on this! Not just Cadburys but all products containing palm oil!

FlamingoAndJohn · 03/11/2019 22:56

The new Dark Milk doesn’t have palm oil.

While I agree op there are so many products with palm oil in that just boycotting Cadbury is rather pointless.
I check every product I buy for palm oil.
A slight pain in the arse but I’ve been vegetarian for decades so I’m used to reading ingredients.

Igotthemheavyboobs · 03/11/2019 22:56

PurpleDaisies going to try and stop cross posting with you now Grin I agree with you though!

PurpleFrames · 03/11/2019 22:56

Can you list some alternatives available when doing a regular shop? Ie that you don't have to spend an arm and a leg in Holland and barrats for!

ShatnersWig · 03/11/2019 22:57

What a bizarre posting. About 50% of products in supermarkets contain some palm oil, not just Cadbury chocolate!

Wellmet · 03/11/2019 22:57

So you want us to boycott one particular company and buy chocolate that probably still contains palm oil?

If you want to help people to cut down on palm oil then post a list of products that don't use it, that would actually be helpful.

I have friends who work for Cadbury, you'd see them out of a job whilst we continued to consume palm oil from other companies?

YABVU. Dangerous nonsense.

FlamingoAndJohn · 03/11/2019 22:58

Aldi own brand chocolate is good and doesn’t have palm oil in, nor does it cost an arm and a leg.

ohgetyou · 03/11/2019 22:59

Haven't eaten Cadbury's in years the texture is horrible as is the taste. Plenty of reasonably priced alternatives which taste lovely.

PurpleDaisies · 03/11/2019 22:59

Grin no worries Igotthemheavyboobs!

Wellmet · 03/11/2019 22:59

I must add at this stage, I do try to avoid palm oil. But I won't be boycotting a specific company unless you give me a reason why they are worse than others.

slipperywhensparticus · 03/11/2019 23:00

Anyone else got the win a free box of cream eggs advert on the page?

Seriously though even gravy contains palm oil my fucking expensive gluten free biscuits have got palm oil in although it jasnt gone down in price

Redshoeblueshoe · 03/11/2019 23:00

It's a mistake you only make once. Chocolate with palm oil in is disgusting.
So it's good bye Cadburys, Thornton's and Terry's

JoyceJeffries · 03/11/2019 23:00

I haven’t eaten Cadbury’s in years. It tastes all claggy.

PickAChew · 03/11/2019 23:01

I just don't buy their stuff because it's shit.

BlouseAndSkirt · 03/11/2019 23:03

I have stopped buying all mainstream chocolate with palm oil. It tastes horrible.

I try not to buy anything made with palm oil.

Tastes disgusting, environmentally disastrous, unethical.

Nestle need boycotting alongside Cadbury too.

satanstoenailsandwich · 03/11/2019 23:03

So if we all boycott palm oil, what will it be replaced with? Something less damaging to the environment? Or not?

PickAChew · 03/11/2019 23:04

I've just got a Betty crocker devil's food cake mix ad.

BlouseAndSkirt · 03/11/2019 23:04

A Terry’s chocolate orange is now a thing of horror.

IHaveBrilloHair · 03/11/2019 23:06

You are being unreasonable for shouting.
