What is the advantage of margarine over butter? What is the advantage of butter over margarine?!
Pretty much all oils and butters are high calorie, I use veg and canola because they are the least damagining.
Answers: From a health point, margarine has much less fat. As for calories, they are about equally bad. Use canola, peanut, or vegetable oil instead. All of these are high in calorie but are much better than margarine and butter. Olive oil can be used if you can find it cold pressed. Double pressed is even better. Even that is still high calorie, but it is much less fat.

margarine is cheaper and somewhat healthier but butter gives much more flavor to a dish.
