It used to be illegal to color margarine to look like butter. To combat this margarine would be sold with separate dye packs you could stir in to make it more appetizing.

Fun fact: since goats don't process carotene the way cows do, goat butter is clean white.

Pink margarine because the dairy farmers got so jealous of losing business they pushed the FDA to make makers of margarine dye their product "so it could be told apart from butter" but picked a nasty pink color so people just wouldn't want to eat it

It's why they say Vegan "Cheeze" or some other phrase, because "Cheese" is a legally a dairy product, same as keeping margarine white. Didn't say it's right, but nut "Milk" isn't "Milk" either because "Milk" is a dairy product., except by sideways definitions of "Looking like milk." I keep waiting to see the dairy associations win and have the gov force the nut and oat "Milk" producers to use a different name. When I was young, we had to mix the margarine coloring in.

Here we have m!lk/m*lk and 'oat/soya/whatever drink', even though the colloquial usage is to call it all milk.

Take a wild guess why it's not called whipped cream. Palm oil.
