Other Possibilities

It is possible to make margarine without pesticides.

It is also possible to make margarines without trans- fatty acids (such as the brand name Becel, in which refined sunflower oil is hardened with refined tropical fats). Margarines and shortenings containing trans- fatty acids are dangerous to health. The more we consume, the more dangerous they are. They’re completely harmless if we leave them on the shelf.

Spreadable oil-water reverse emulsions that contain no trans- fatty acids, no cholesterol, no tropical fats, no hydrogenated products, and plenty of EFAs may appear on the market. They are made by mayonnaise technologies, usually using fully refined deodorized oils with salt, flavor, and preservatives added. These emulsions may be preferable to margarines in terms of health. They cannot be frozen or heated without coming apart, which somewhat limits their applications. How good they are for health depends on their freshness and the freshness and quality of the oils and other ingredients used.

In countries like Spain, people spread neither butter nor margarine on bread. Instead, they cut a tomato in half, squash the open tomato into their bread to close the holes, and then pour fresh virgin olive oil directly onto the bread. In Italy, people simply dip their bread in virgin olive oil. That solves the butter and margarine question for them, and gives them better health.
