See the Correct Answer



Answer

The energy content of all fats and oils are essentially the same, so the correct answer is that they are all the same. You can purchase some lower fat varieties of margarine spread, but that is just mixed with other substances to effectively reduce the amount of margarine. There are also some 'light' oils, but these are light in taste or color, not in energy content.
