That you think it tastes the same betrays your taste level and therefore completely obliterates the respectability of any opinion you may possess.
eat shit faggot

>>15655588
I love margarine

>>15655588
Hydrogenated oils are miles away from anything that can be considered food. Watch some college lectures on intro-level biochemistry and do not put them in your body

>>15655588
>This is a bunch of bullshit
Yes.
>margarine tastes the same
No.

>>15655588
Margarine was literally invented to be a poverty slave food version of butter with no nutritional value. You're lying if you say it tastes the same. I can't lie it tastes better than nothing but nutrition is more important than saving a few dollars each month.

make your own butter, yogurt, kefir and buttermilk from milk and cream, and render lard, tallow, and schmaltz from animal fats. This will save you money and is fun and easy. Margarine and vegetable oils may be cheaper fats, but they have a lot less nutritional value(almost none) so you're better off spending your money off of something actually nourishing

>>15655588
That comparison sure seems fair and impartial

>>15655680
nah it wasnt for slaves. it was literally just cooperate greed with the bottom line being profit at any means necessary, even if it meant jeopardizing the health of their own customers by using misleading information

Though margarine actually used to be made with beef tallow. It wasn't until around the Victorian era that hydrogenated seed oils (primarily cottonseed oil) were added as a cheap filler.

What's kind of weird is that margarine today will actually sometimes contain milk, whey, lactose, or casein. Probably to make it taste less like shit.

>OH NO THEY'VE ADDED ONE ATOM OF HYDROGEN INTO THE OIL

>>15655588
It doesn't taste the same. It doesn't even melt the same.

>>15655588
Hydrogenated oils aren't "rancid". The metals used as a catalyst for hydrogenation are filtered out, and it's almost always nickel used which shouldn't cause much or any issue even if ingested, and if it is it's going to be infinitesimally small amounts. Hydrogenated oils don't contain trans fat, that's why they're hydrogenated. Only partially-hydrogenated oils contain trans fats. The rest of it sounds like unsourced Karen health blogging information.

Not to defend margarine, it's shit, but it really isn't "that" bad.

>Oh no they split one tiny atom in two!

>>15656768
>Trusting low paid unregulated corrupt chink factory with fully following through hydrogenation process to leave no trans fats
The less steps there are to fuck up food the better. This is also the reason that you should cook your own food, because every production step brings unnecessary risks.
Why eat same product that tastes worse and goes through unnatural processes that can go wrong?

>The mean concentrations of Cd(II), Pb(II), and Cu(II) in different types of margarines and butters varied from 9.1 to 26.2, 9.2-14.2, 298.2-364.0 microg x kg(-)(1), respectively, that is below the legal requirements.
This amount of heavy metals might as well be 0, anon. We're talking micrograms for every KILOGRAM of margine consumed. I doubt anyone even consumes a kilogram of fats in their lifetime.

You'd be surprised how many rancid nuts and seeds we eat. If you eat nuts that are already shelled, like walnuts and pecans, they are rancid. You can really taste the difference when you actually put the effort in and crack shell in nuts, already shelled nuts will taste kind of bitter. Nuts and seeds will quickly rot when cracked open. Its kind of like tearing a lobster or something open. It's gonna go bad really quick when exposed to the elements.

>margarine tastes the same and costs a fraction of the price
I used to think the same but then I tasted real butter.
Margarine has literally no flavor.

>>15656823
I don't trust them but that's how it's supposed to be made; I simply hope regulatory bodies do their jobs. I still feel it's disingenuous to claim things which are (or should be, at worst) false. Anyway yes, I agree, simpler is usually better.

>>15656831
I wouldn't be, but I don't have experience with fresh nuts and I rarely eat bagged or canned nuts--shelled or otherwise.

>>15655588
you're a psycopath if you think butter and margarine taste the same. i like margarine probably just as much as i like butter but i buy both because they have different taste

>>15655588
It might be bullshit, but so was the years of marketing that convinced people that margarine was a healthier alternative to butter.
They absolutely do not taste the same though.

>>15655588

>>15656831
but if they bag them in nitrogen you theory is moot

and im not busting your nuts

>years of marketing that convinced people that margarine was a healthier alternative
The entire food advertising industry should be in prison or executed. Along with the leaders of the nutritional-industrial complex that give Americans 90% garbage food for all of their affordable options

Most margarine isn't even hydrogenated anymore

OP is a tastelet. The milk proteins in butter drastically alter the flavor

burn some of that butter blend in a pan, the stuff that half butter half vege oil, you end up with what looks like motor oil and a piece of plastic! Shits crazy! Im not eating it!

>>15656826
>kilogram of fats in their lifetime.
if you eat 50g of fat in a day, which is typical, you will eat 15kg of fat per year

Margarine is the Devil's snot, and nothing in this damn earth will make me consume that garbage.

There is nothing good about margarine. Butter is better and healthier.

>margarine tastes the same
I had a girlfriend who thought this. It absolutely blows my mind that people like you exist. Do all foods just taste the same to you?
