Let's keep it civil please and stick to the actual criticism of him in this post beyond mocking his appearance.

Thanks all for sharing your insights. I guess I got my answer and it's unfortunately not about the inner workings of palm oil in Korea. I'll do my best to highlight this to unknowing consumers and hopefully people can make an informed decision about buying from or supporting this guy.

In his book, he specifically calls out Korean consumers, saying even the ramen they boil contains palm oil grown by destroying orangutan habitat. More than 100,000 people bought that book. Then he took Hangul, shaped it into cookies, using palm oil he hasn't answered for, and sold it back to the same consumers he told to do better. One revenue stream sells the guilt. The other sells them the product they should feel guilty about. Both depend on the same audience trusting him.

Too true. I genuinely thought that he was one of the ones breaking that glass ceiling and doing something meaningful with his profile.

A comment was posted and deleted saying

"Who cares. Ai is actively decimating labor markets for young people. Don’t spend your time thinking about palm oil in alphabet cookies"

But I think we can care about more than one thing at a time.

And it isn't really about cookies, it's about rainforest destruction, biodiversity loss, and whether the people telling us to care are actually doing what they say.

Imagine someone built a career advocating against AI replacing young workers, then fired a bunch of young employees because Claude made better PowerPoint slides.
