Can it be healthier than butter? If not why is this still widely popular?

>> No.12257279

It's worse for you than butter.

>> No.12257303

The reason it's still widely popular is that it's cheaper than butter by a ridiculous margin.

I mean the large buckets that'll last months are around 10 bucks but most of the time that shit will go to waste. Butter isn't that expensive and really how much are people generally using?

The real answer (and this isn't veiled racism) is black people and boomers.

Just like Miracle Whip, the answer is: Boomers.

If you're at a point where you have to worry about your fat/cholesterol consumption you shouldn't be eating high fat foods anyway. Margarine is worse for you but only by a margin that is negligible if the rest of your diet is healthy.

>> No.12257351

Yes, it is healthier than butter. Not particularly difficult given that butter is one the unhealthiest things you can eat that is actually marketed as a food despite being a toxic byproduct.

He's not wrong. Fats aren't bad for you just because people hear the word "Fat" and freak out.

But margerine is fatty as well. It just depends what your mixing your fats with.

They eat a fuckton of fat, especially animal based fats and are all healthy as fuck. No obesity, no heart conditions.

Eating a bit of butter is more delicious and healthier than eating tons of margarine
Go cook with lard, deep-fry stuff, just do not much of it, make those few bites as delicious as possible

It's literally spreadable heart attack. Before recent government regulation it was almost entirely pure trans fat, now they've tweaked it but it's still just solidified vegetable oil. The healthiest thing to use is raw butter, but anything other than oil is preferable to the human body

Final health redpill: Don't be fat. Do be physically active. Butter might be "healthier" than margarine, or vice-versa, but the difference is marginal so long as you aren't a 300lb tub of lard and you are engaging in frequent cardiovascular or resistance training.

No

A focused marketing campaign in the 80's and 90's backed up by ignorant and/or 'sponsored' (bribed) medical professionals that suggested it was. At the time the science of cholesterol wasn't fully understood and dietitians, attempting to simplify complex chemical processes for public consumption, settled on "FAT BAD". This combined with shame marketing, which is an age old american favorite, to make margarine popular despite it's shaky and eventually disproven benefits.
