In a scene reflective of their simian mentality, Greenpeace campaigners abseiled into Nestle's annual shareholders meeting on Thursday to urge the food giant to stop using palm oil they alleged were harvested from rainforest destruction.

An AFP photographer saw the two activists break through the roof and abseil into the hall with mountaineering gear. They hung a banner with the slogan "Nestle, Give the orangutans a break!" -- in a play on a Nestle marketing slogan -- and remained dangling about 20 metres (66 feet) above the shareholders' heads as the meeting continued.

Fellow protestors dressed in bright orange orangutan suits handing out leaflets outside the meeting were arrested.

This site has been hacked twice in the past month. In all likelihood, this is the cowardly action of desperate people. People who have run out of ideas as to how to stop the exposes that we run regularly against environmental NGOs such as Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth and the Rainforest Action Network who have run untruthful,shady and deceitful campaigns against palm oil.

An interesting report in Businessweek this week points out that, palm oil from Malaysia and Indonesia and sugar cane grown in Brazil rank as the most sustainable of the current generation of
biofuel crops, according to researchers at Wageningen University in the Netherlands.
