When I browsed the Internet, I really couldn't find a clear answer for whether margarine would be a safe replacement. Yes, it is plant based, but it is also processed. On the other hand, butter is "natural", but ridiculously high in saturated fats. Luckily, I don't need to use either! We had been getting by with organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, but I really didn't like the taste of it. While on a trip to Natchez, I was browsing downtown and came aross this:
100% Virgin Pecan Oil! I was a little nervous to try it, because pecans (in my opinion) are very strong flavored. Surprisingly, there was NO strong pecan flavor! It really doesn't even have a flavor!
This nutritional information can be found on their website, as well as the pamphlet that came with my bottle of oil: "Our Pecan Oil has only 9.5% saturated fat compared to Olive Oil with 13.5%, Peanut Oil with 17%, Corn Oil with 13.7% & Butter with a whopping 66% saturated fat."

I will definitely purchase this again! You can visit their Facebook page for ordering/store information.http://www.facebook.com/#!/kinlochplantation
