    Didn’t they ban sale of margarine? Or was that margarine with trans fat and now they make it with seed oil?

      Essentially trans fats allowed the margarine to have a better texture and be more melt in your mouth not on the table. They replaced them with a higher proportion of saturated fats to get the same result. Since it’s a mixed oil emulsion, there’s little appreciable difference in the texture of the product. Twinkies were not so lucky.
