I feel that margarine is much better than butter because margarine is from vegetable while butter is from animal and it is said that butter has more cholesterol than margarine. So margarine is better!

In my opinion, i think that there are no such thing as unheathly fat. Both butter and margarine are the same, both used for cooking and both have fats. I believe that the unhealthy fats are actually referred to the over intake of fats you consume or unhealthy diet.

Personally, i feel that margarine is a better choice as margarine is made from hydrogenated vegetable oils or plants fats while butter is made from fats in milk or animals fats.

I feel that margarine is a better source of fats than butter as it is obtained from plants and gives us a better mouth-feel.

From my point of view, Margarine is much healthier then what we used to apply on our bread everyday, butter. Because Margarine is extracted from the vegetables, while butter is from the animals and i feel that using margarine means consuming less animal oil or fats.

for me, butter is healthy because it is natural and it has more nutrition then margerine.this is because margerine is made by hydrogenation.

For me butter is more healthier than margerine because butter is natural whilr margerine is made by hydrogenation. Hydogenatin is not natural.

I feel that margarine is better than butter as margarine is made from vegetable oil, & it contains no cholesterol. Butter, on the other hand, is made from animal fat, so it contains cholesterol and high levels of saturated fats.

I believe that butter is a better choice in terms of taste because it gives a better mouth-feel.
But, in terms of health, margarine is a better choice because it does not have cholesterol as it is from a plant source.

in my opinion , margarine is healthy as it comes from the vegetables oil and thus , it is a healthier choice compared to butter as it comes from the animals ! :)

I feel that there isn't any 'unhealthy fats'.Every type of fats be it saturated or unsaturated,animal source or plant source would be both helpful/harmful to health.

Butter contains about 80% to 85% of milk fat compared to margarine which is made from vegetable oils..

Both are good in their own ways. Fats should be consumed in moderate amounts.

i feel that magarine is unhealthy compared to butter as it attempts to mimic the taste of butter instead of being original. Butter however is healthier as it is made solely of milk fats. Margarine however needs the use of hydrogen gas to make it a solid.

Both butter and margarine have their good and bad effects if too much of each is consumed it is unhealthy but if both is consumed in moderation it is healthy so as a result both are considered healthy and unhealthy depening on the amount cosumed.

For me, margarine is a better choice to lead a healthy lifestyle. Nonetheless, if taken in large amount, it'll eventually lead to numerous health problems.

Both are fats and if taken in high amounts, they are bad for the body. therefore, we should consume them moderately so as to have a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle!
