True fact: because it tastes better.
On the one side you have cows and churning and maybe some salt.
On the other side you have a century of food scientists mastering the process of making things taste like we want them to taste, not merely beholden to the product that happens to fall out when you shake some cream long enough, who are able to produce something that better captures the essential nature of butter in the mind's eye...er, mouth. Margarine tastes more buttery than butter ever can.

- BugsJustFindMe 5y agoI lived in France for years and am very familiar with all the fanciest and best quality butters from there to New Zealand. Butter is universally boring, and the multivariate superiority of margarine is quite clear if one bothers to see beyond the veil of appeal-to-nature snobbery and explore and appreciate one of the pinnacles of humankind's achievement.

- jmnicolas 5y agoAs a French guy I am contractually bound to disagree with you ;) I don't think I have ever (knowingly) eaten margarine!
