■ Stott says ‘vegans don’t eat palm oil’ on the grounds that its manufactur­e destroys vital habitats (MetroTalk, Tue). Firstly, not all palm oil is grown in the rainforest and to boycott palm oil affects the livelihood­s of farmers who do grow it sustainabl­y. Secondly, what is this big obsession with shaming people who are doing a good thing for not being perfect? Just as having a meat-free Monday is better than having meat every day, being vegan and eating palm oil is clearly better than not being vegan at all. We need to stop striving for people to live perfect lives.

■ All you new voters and young people, please do vote tomorrow. Your votes made a big difference to the last general election result and can do so again in these European elections. Mark, Croydon
