I think we should all cut down on consuming vegetable oil product(including oil palm).

What you describe for palm oil production would not be considered sustainable by anyone.

However, production of corn oil, canola oil, and olive oil can be more sustainable, depending on how the land and crops are managed. I am not sure if there is sustainable palm oil production; I have no knowledge of palm cultivation, or whether it can be done without the habitat and species damage you describe.
