Alternatively, consider plant based butter if you're concerned about climate change and don't want to support industrial animal farming (i.e. same reasoning behind plant based burgers which seem popular on here: make the product directly from plants instead of inefficiently feeding plants to cows first):

In all three markets (UK, DE and FR) the margarine products are significantly better than the butter products for the categories global warming potential,eutrophication potential and acidification potential

Thanks for a great comment. Some good plant-based spreads:

Miyokos plant-based cheese is unbelievable, but still only available in the US.

Margarine tastes like shit. If you want some plant based fats for spreading - just make mayo. Takes 5 minutes.

Doesn't need to. Veganaise tastes pretty good - I genuinely can't tell the difference.
