Got my canola digest yesterday.

I heard its one molecule away from plastic too. Are you a dairy farmer?

I still like butter. But we sold cream years ago.
Funny in Hawaii they had in the freezers at Costco and Walmart a butter canola oil blended butter and butter soy blended butter.

I wonder about the heat used in processing of any veg oils/margarine, who do you believe? Buy cold pressed olive oil, but cold pressed canola is rare.

"The difference between cold pressing and hexane extraction of oilseeds lies in the initial extraction of the oil from the seed. Cold pressing is a traditional method in which the seeds are not heated before, during, or after the pressing process. Seeds are selected, cleaned, and crushed; they are then mechanically pressed at a slow pace to limit friction and avoid elevating temperatures above 60°C. Its color, taste, and odor are much more pronounced than those of refined oils.

Cold pressed oils, labeled as such and usually sold in health-food stores are comparable to whole-wheat flour, which has undergone very little processing and very little nutritive losses. Solvent-free oil is not however, as expensive as cold pressed oil. There is a higher antioxidant content to cold pressed oils (Vitamin E), which inhibits the absorption of cholesterol, and a significantly lower content of trans fatty acids. Despite these definite benefits, no regulation protects the Canadian consumer against oils falsely labeled "cold pressed". Overall, it is only a perceived difference that cold pressed oil is a better, healthier product.

The price of cold pressed oil tends to be slightly higher because of the lower recovery of oil."

I like butter too. But how much canola is destined for marg compared to cooking oil? Think I like my fries and nuggets in canola oil rather than lard.

To add to margarine when it was first developed it was made from rendered animal fat until veg oils became available.
