A couple of things to consider:
How margarine is made:
Manufacturers begin with the cheapest oils - 
soy, corn, cottonseed, or canola, already rancid from the extraction 
process - and mix them with tiny metal particles - usually nickel 
oxide.  The oil with its nickel catalyst is then subjected to hydrogen 
gas in a high-pressure, high-temperature reactor.  Next, soap-like 
emulsifiers and starch are squeezed into the mixture to give it a better
 consistency: the oil is yet again subjected to high temperatures when 
it is steam-cleaned.  This removes its unpleasant odor.  Margarine's 
natural color, an unappetizing grey, is removed by bleach.  Dyes and 
strong flavors must then be added to make it resemble butter.  Finally, 
the mixture is compressed and packaged in blocks or tubs and sold as 
health food. (taken from Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon)  
How butter is made:
Whip/beat double heavy cream until it separates into butter and buttermilk.  Shape butter into a cube. (taken from my brain)
I would recommend choosing butter and eating it often :)
