We had a previous discussion about Smart Balance margarine a few months ago .. http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthre...t=smart+balance

It's made with non-hydrogenated soy, canola and olive oil, with high-saturate palm oil to give it a more solid texture .. http://www.smartbalance.com/palm.html

It's suitable for cooking at lower temperatures or baking. Note - this is only for the margarine .. they have a lower fat "spread" which shouldn't be used for cooking at all.

And it's Kosher, since many people prefer to not use dairy butter with a meat meal.
