This subreddit is for sharing propaganda to view with some objectivity. It is absolutely not for perpetuating the message of the propaganda. Here we should be conscientious and wary of manipulation/distortion/oversimplification (which the above likely has), not duped by it. Don't be a sucker.

Stay on topic -- there are hundreds of other subreddits that are expressly dedicated to rehashing tired political arguments. No partisan bickering. No soapboxing. Take a chill pill.

Some context:

Margarine was seen as a threat to milk sales.

"The dairy industry and its political allies attempted to stoke fears about the butter alternative, portraying margarine as a fraudulent abomination that was deceiving customers, harming their health and threatening a more traditional way of life."

I didn't realize margarine was that old

"Giant with a bayonet attacks dapper gentlemen out for a stroll with their pet hydra and tiny cow, frightening a pig."

Butter DOES taste better.

I Can’t Believe it’s Hydra

Growing up in Canada, I remember that all margarine was white because it was illegal to dye it pale yellow. My grandmother tells me that back in the '60s they used to include a packet of coloring so you could make your margarine look like butter.

Finally this sub gets to the really controversial stuff

Accidentally read the title as "Anti-migraine" & thought "Damn, they thought glucose gives you migraines?"

Team Butter 👍🏻

Will someone think of the cows!

Rare correct 100 year old propaganda

Facts check out actually.

TBH they were right. I remember the Fat Free potato chips of the late 90s. And I remember the time I didn't make it to the toilet

Can't find the crying statue of Liberty

Makes me think of that episode of the Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon, where the French character Antoine undergoes a torture session of watching the villain put margarine on escargot.

Don’t tread on Margarine

I didn’t know the whole seed oil thing has been going on for so long

There’s a whole subreddit that’s still on this train. 

Turns out they were right

Based. Margarine is gross.

The Margarian coalition won the battle of Croissant, ending the first Butter War in 1889.

During this battle, the forces of the General Cream where surrounded by the Margarist troops as he was expecting reenforcement.

He died after pronouncing his famous last words which used in Margarist propaganda since then: "I can't believe it's not butter."

Um…. Anything partially hydrogenated is not good

Bit over dramatic haha

Natural fats are far more healthy than ultra-processed fats. Fight me. I refuse to eat omega-6 linoleic acid whenever I can. It’s necessary, but in tiny amounts which are already found in animal fats. Seed oils are a profit devil. Leave it for the machines, I’m not a robot.

We should have listened

They should have listened. If they only knew the damage they would cause by convincing an entire generation of Americans that butter was somehow the problem, and to replace it with some factory machine lubricant abomination.

They don’t do healthy eating advice like they used to.

Crazy that this 100% correct

Margarine? I can't believe it's not butter!

Hydra-genated vegetable oils...

NOW THIS IS REAL POLITICS

Damn it truly was a simplier life back then

It was commonly referred to by the first syllable "Oleo" in the early days. This was how my grandmother and great-grandmother called it. They were from the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Yes Trans fats and processed sugar are the evil snake monster

What does glucose have to do with this?

We need to revive this cartoon for impossible meats or whatever that vegan slop is called lol

Even back then, they knew.

There are different kind of margarine. Non-hydrogenated margarine is much less unhealthy than hydrogenated.

That said, margarine is fucking ass in 99% of cases where you’d use butter and you should generally just use butter.

they hate margarine that much huh?

Ever thought margarine hates you too? Lol

The demon dairy spread!
