What is your source that margarine is more unhealthy than red meat? And what do you mean by "healthy" anyway?

The worst type of dietary fat is the kind known as trans fat. It is a byproduct of a process called hydrogenation that is used to turn healthy oils into solids and to prevent them from becoming rancid. Trans fats have no known health benefits and that there is no safe level of consumption.

There are trans fat free margarines now, but historically margarine have been a tub of trans fat.

Margarine is poison. Margarine is not food.

Animals, insects, mold or bacteria, will NOT eat margarine.

It's not even digestible.
