LOOK AND FEEL YOUR BEST!" NO! Margarine is fucking plastic. It's gray when it's manufactured and colored yellow - to look like butter. JUST FUCKING EAT BUTTER! Saturated fat is ( ... )

I don't think we can blame one without blaming the other...

Corporations are the monsters, but consumers feed them. The info is out there, people just don't what to admit what they're supporting... or change their behavior to stop supporting it.
