This will make you gag and run for the butter!
Margarine was first patented by Hippolyte Mege Mouries in 1869 in France. The first margarine formula was originally comprised of finely minced beef suet which was heated with water. Chopped sheep's stomach was added as was potassium carbonate. The remaining fat was then bleached with acid, digested with bicarbonate of soda and sliced udders, then churned with milk, water and coloring agent. Um... YUK!
Add to this that email that went around about margarine being one molecule removed from plastic, and all I can say is "Bon appetit!"
