I think that's a sacrifice worth making; Avoid fast food in general and any other similar restaurants that think little enough of their customers to just use the cheapest possible ingredients. Choose quality over quantity, please.

> Avoid fast food in general OK, but be aware that that means not just avoiding mega-corporate chain restaurants. It could mean having to give up supporting the local ethnic-food joint run by a humble immigrant family who are just trying to make a decent life and put their children through school, and who may be using quality ingredients in terms of veg, but who are still using palm oil because nowadays everyone is.

  Honestly, I can't take responsibility for how other people choose to run their business and which corners they choose to cut. To be more blunt, it is not my responsibility to prop up a business model that I disapprove of. I prefer to eat at restaurants where I know they will not compromise on quality, so I accept that I have to pay extra for that, hence I eat out less often than I otherwise would have. On the flip side, every time I do eat out, I get amazing food. On the occasions where I do eat fast food, my preferred places also fit the quality criteria outlined above. If a place doesn't do things in a way that agrees with me, I refuse to support them.

There are plenty of restaurants where you will be convinced that they do not compromise on quality because the veg, the bread, etc. is superb, but at the same time they are using palm oil because (again) lots of restaurants today are.
