margarine is absolutely fine, i don’t understand where you all get this idea that it’s “nasty” aside from it being cheaper and thus associated with poor people
it feels like how jamie oliver raged against chicken nuggets as some lower quality food, which is pretty clearly just him being a classist shithead.
Margarine these days is mostly a mix of either palm or coconut oil with something like soybean or canola oil. I wouldn’t be surprised if butter had more naturally occurring trans fats.
The Wikipedia article linked on top states that most margarine has moved to lower trans-fats since the turn of the century. It’s probably at least as healthy as butter, if not moreso.
and i eat margarine all the time and it tastes like exactly what it is: solid fat
it has no flavour beyond that of generic fat, i can only assume that anyone claiming otherwise is getting a product with something else in it, or they’re making shit up.
There is no “generic fat”. The texture isn’t the same. The flavor isn’t the same.
If you serve me margarine like it’s butter, I will spit it in a trash can in front of you, and it will take an extended period of time and mouthwash to get that nasty grimy shit out of my mouth. You pretending “it’s just fat” is fine, but I’m telling you, people are disgusted by margarine because it’s really fucking disgusting, and if you try to sneak margarine by me, it will destroy the entire meal.
You’re the one acknowledging the consensus that margarine is disgusting and arguing it’s some big conspiracy instead of the fact that it’s more disgusting than serving someone a bowl full of actual shit.
i am assuming they used some loose definition of nutritious
And “agreeable taste”.
Margarine is nasty and I can’t imagine that’s the best version of it.
TBH World War II was . . . kind of a bad time.
Understatement of the thread.
You could add that many people had kind of a bad decade 35 to 45 as well

It’s hydrogenated cooking oil; trans-fats. It is absolutely not good to eat regularly.Apparently that’s no longer true. Thanks fellow lemmings for setting the record straight.
That said, I do appreciate it for it’s long shelf life and availability when better foods are expensive or unavailable.

this is outright misinformation, the swedish food safety department specifically says that modern margarine has basically no trans fats whatsoever.
Because I’ve tasted it and it’s one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever eaten.
