Margarine is no more synthetic than butter.  I mean, you *do* realize that
butter doesn't come directly out of the cow, right?  ;)

Margarine is made from vegetable oil -- a perfectly natural product.
What's done to it *after* that can make it less natural or less healthy
(e.g., hydrogenation resulting in trans fats, addition of animal fat or
gelatin).

Ultimately, it depends on the type and brand of margarine.  But a pure
vegetable-oil margarine is no less natural than vegetable oil itself.
