Who the hell is buying margarine?

Exactly, and we know that egg producers made record profits at least in the states.

Spinning a supposed supply crisis into profits should be illegal.

Nobody's buying it, pretty clear signal the prices have to be raised!

The first time I saw the results from a GC mass spec analysis of a few different margarines was the last time I ever knowingly consumed margarine. If I see it on a list of ingredients I pick a different brand. Scary part is that was before companies dialed up the imported contents to boost profits.

Isn’t it really popular in the UK?

I figured that stuff would be banned in the UK.
