Trans fats are way more prevalent in hydrogenated vegetable oils that try to look like animal fat replacements. They are simply much cheaper to manufacture.
Example: margarine 15g v.s. real butter 3.3g for each 100g of product.

But to keep things in perspective, margarine is #3 in the list of top sources, after (presumably non-vegan) baked goods and animal products - http://health.gov/dietaryguidelines/dga2005/document/html/chapter6.htm http://health.gov/dietaryguidelines/dga2005/document/html/ch...
