Margarine only gained popularity because of the sentiment that butter was bad! And margarine is barely relevant any more, since it's widely understood that trans fats are bad.
- majewsky 6y agoI'm in Germany, and I currently struggle to come up with anyone who doesn't use margarine. I haven't heard the transfat angle mentioned yet in relation to margarine, so I had a quick look. Apparently margarine in the EU contains about 1-2% of transfats, which is within the limit that the EU will enforce starting next year (2% transfat per fat).
