Well, on the very same day I post about bad writing (see “Righting The Writing” below) along comes this ad from the “Center For Consumer Freedom” (read: a lobbying group for major food and tobacco manufacturers) which is reacting to New York City’s recent vote to ban trans-fats.
The ad states that trans-fat, apparently, is the same substance as “margerine.”
Did they mean margarine?
As for the relative merits of an ad created by an organization funded by fast food companies, Kraft, and Coca-Cola opposing a ban of trans-fat…well, you can decide that one for yourself.

Seems to be just the thumbnail that has the misspelling. The .pdf and .jpg you can view on the site both say “margarine”. And I checked it yesterday. *shrugs*
Hi,
Hope this post is helpful to your understanding.

the organization behind this ad is bankrolled by fast feeders, big tobacco and more. one of its masterminds is a political lobbyist. this organization is not concerned with consumer freedom, but rather, corporate freedom. don’t believe the hype.
