We clearly have an internet police, demanding people go to snopes and have a letter of authentication before posting.

Quit dodging and talk to daddio taunto whats making you upset? You can tell me, I won't judge. I promise
I already told you. I'm annoyed by alarmist crap that people spread willy-nilly without fact-checking. I have a low tolerance for both laziness and ignorance.
I'm bored at work and avoiding doing the one thing I should be doing by wasting time here. Once I click out of this thread, I will not think about it again until and unless I see a new post and come back to see what it said. I am not anywhere close to angry.
See I read all of this and I sense hostility. You sound like you are using forums to take out your anger (or annoyance, whatever you wanna call it) on poor little kids on the forums.
Forums aren't for you to unload love. Talk to me here and we will get to the bottom of whats bothering you
I give up.

That would depend on what you're trying to do, but it does grease the wheel, so to speak.
I happen to like butter very much.0 -
For better taste, anyway, use spray butter (it tastes like butter, not water) and less real butter. Don't automatically butter everything, anyway, season it with spices and juices.0

1 molecule could be the difference between a breathable gas and a deadly one. This claim means nothing as 1 molecule completely changes a substance...0

Why eat much of any processed or refined fat? If you need to cook with butter for flavour you are missing out on a world of healthy ingredients IMO. I like butter on certain baked wheat products, but since they are all heavily processed crap I prefer to avoid them. Not so difficult to stop eating or cooking with dry flavourless foodstuffs.0

Lactose intolerant here-butter is not my friend. That being said, when I bake for people, I do use butter in it. I do like margarine on plain toast, but that's about the only time I use it. ONE molecule is all that keeps table salt from setting your face on fire, y'know. Mmm, fire face.0

Like I said I dont know how true it is....
It's nice when people check facts before posting alarmist crap.
However, I've not always found snopes to be 100% reliable. In this case, some of the original post is true, while others are false.

My personal take? While both are unhealthy if not used in moderation, I'll take butter any day over margarine, because it tastes better and is less processed.0 -
Butter and bacon - wooohoooooooo!!0

As I learned in chemistry class in high school and organic chemistry at the university, margarine is primarily hydrogenated vegetable oil. It has become "solid" at room temperature because of this hydrogentation (read saturation of the carbon bonds), Nearly colorless, odorless and tasteless, coloring and butter flavoring is added to give it's similated butter characteristics. The butter flavor and fragrance are also easily created in the chemistry lab.
While it is "unnatural" in the sense that churning vegetable oil won't create margarine (maybe a version of mayonnaise), generally speaking it is derived from natural materials (though vegetable oil extraction processes might not be considered natural beyond the pressing).
Personally, I choose butter over margarine when I have the choice and I use it in moderation.0 -
Regardless of how much of the article is true, I eat butter for one reason - Ingredient list: Cream.
I always, always, always go for the shortest cleanest ingredient list possible whenever I can.
This, this, a million times this.
I gave up I Can't Believe It's Not Butter because I couldn't pronounce half the ingredients.
Mmmm...butter0 -
Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back.0

Internet/MFP police here. I'm giving this thread a ticket for breaking the rules (locking it due to hostility contained within).
Have a happy New Year!
