    Excuse me for not writing in French, but I was wondering if people in France ever buy margarine in the supermarket, or is it just about unheard of in France?

    ...was not a "tag" before but a specific word given by the Company which manufactored it.
    It was quiclkly considerered as the butter of the lower classes of people who couldn't afford real butter!
    Then ,at the end of the 60's,whith the beginning of some people's consciousness of natural food,some "natural" butter (vegetal margarine,pain d'huile végétale )were sold,made of palm oil.
    Then a lot of "margarines" appeared on the market (against cholesterol or with a lot of other things added). The name "margarine" is still written on some packets ("margarine bio" for example);doesn't seem to be specific any longer. Yet ,if you ask for "margarine" in a shop ,they will ask you which one (real name) you want.
    Now that a lot of scientists and dieteticians say that milk is very bad for health (its molecules too big for human (and kids') digestion),Butter ,which was already left aside by natural food consumers, might soon only be remembered by the last peasants owning cows and normal "robots" of the Establishment!
