Pass the Butter Please

Like I said I dont know how true it is....

It's nice when people check facts before posting alarmist crap.

Chill, mistakes happen... Good lord and I thought Hulk had anger issues

I'm not angry. I'm annoyed.

Its new years. Go get some vodka or a polish sausage in you to relax. Clearly today is not the day you should be on the internet

Because? I didn't realize there were Internet police out there. :-)

People posting alarmist chain e-mail crap without doing any research first always annoys me. I'm sorry my annoyance is so upsetting to you, though.

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

Why are you so mad anyways? Talk to me love. I am worried about you. Why are you so angry? Its gonna be a new year soon love. A fresh start!

In the UK at least 'margarine' can no longer be sold. So whilst there are elements of truth to the OP, it's not actually relevant.

On a personal note, I'm all for butter.

You know, sometimes I can't tell when certain people are being serious or silly or a little of both.

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

*sigh*

I give up.

Butter can help with not giving up

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.

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.

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.

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.
