Good points. It's time to avoid eating non-food.
Despite of the fact that the FDA approved the item...

The butter lobby is just mad because Bush Jr. would have Victor Ashe shove a cube of margarine up his ass before analizing him instead of butter.
They regarded that as an unfair endorsement, and decided to enact a media blitz of insane disinformation to counteract the debacle.

It's another one of those Science flipflops I remember in the 80's and early 90's when fatfree everything was going to save the world. Margarine was touted as safe as boiling water for tea.
Butter was just gawd awful and those idiots still eating butter on their toast were dooming themselves to an early death.

Do you have a source regarding FDA approval? FDA was formed in 1906, long after margarine had been invented.

No
In that case, why blame FDA? If you believe margarine is bad for people, then say that, but why blame FDA approval if you don't know whether they approved it?

Yes, thanks to the lies of liberal CEOs and margarine lobbyists and their wholly-owned regulators.
I recommend Olivio. There's something - I don't know - sexy about it, wouldn't you say?

Let me guess. This is manufactured in Montreal.
Butter .... Please.
This is interesting....
Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys.
When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back.
It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring & sold it to people to use in place of butter.
It was cheaper than the natural substance. They have come out with some clever new flavorings...
Do you know the difference between margarine & butter?
Read on to the end...it gets very interesting!
Both have the same amount of calories.
Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams; compared to 5 grams for margarine.
Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.
Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.
Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few & only because they are added!
Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavors of other foods.
Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 yrs.
And now for Margarine…
Very high in transfatty acids.
Triples risk of coronary heart disease.
Increases total cholesterol & LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) & lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol) Increases the risk of cancers up to 5 times.
Lowers the quality of breast milk.
Decreases immune response.
Decreases insulin response.
And here's the most disturbing fact...
HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!
Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC.and shares 27 ingredients with PAINT.
These facts alone were enough to have me avoiding margarine for life & anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).
Open a tub of margarine and leave it open in your garage or shaded area.
Within a couple of days you will notice a couple of things:
No flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something)
it does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value; nothing will grow on it.
Even those teeny-weeny microorganisms will not a find a home to grow.
Why? Because it is nearly plastic.
Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?
