No. It is made by the hydrogenation of oils or fats.

Is margarine really one molecule away from plastic?

No margarine is not one molocule away from plastic. Margarine is made from animal fats. You would not just be able to add a molocule to margarine and it would turn into plastic. Margarine is NOT made from animal fat, butter is. Margarine is made from vegetable oil, water, and salt with chemicals and preservatives. Whether it is exactly one molecule away from plastic or not doesn't really matter. What matters is that it is hydrogenated and causes heart disease. The story about taking it and placing it in a very warm environment (your garage) and letting it sit for a month or two is a good way to test it. Not only will flies not bother it, it won't spoil! Why would any human want to ingest such a dangerous compound? I only use Promise or Smart Balance as they are formulated differently and are not hydrogenated. But as with all fats, I use them in moderation. I occasionally use organic butter as well.

Where do margarine come from?

Depending on the brand, Margarine is made from different types of oils and greases, with a little bit of coloring and flavoring. Oils are often "Hydrogenated", and that process results in compounds that are not well tolerated by the human metabolism...... Margarine is a fatty solid spread or cooking fat and is a substitute for butter consisting of a blend of hydrogenated vegetable oils mixed with emulsifiers, vitamins, coloring matter, and other ingredients. The process of hydrogenation (used to make the margarine hard and spreadable) causes the margarine to produce trans-fatty acids in the body.

Why might a vegetarian not eat margarine?

Maybe because of the milk Actually Margarine is milkfree however Margarine is one molecule short of being PLASTIC Margarines are not made from milk as is butter. They are made from oil that is industrially manipulated into a buttery-tasting spread. I once read somewhere that a tub of margarine was placed in the woods and when they went back to get it a year later, the animals hadn't touched it. Much to everyone's surprise, not even the bugs would eat it. Could it be that even insects know what is food and what is not?
