The only way that I can ever handle butter if it is in small melted quantities, or baked into something, like cakes. I can't eat butter solid spread on bread, because it makes me feel ill. I can just about manage margarine, but I tend to forget about butter and margarine and eat bread plain instead.0

My BIL posted a study on FB that showed that consumption of margarine irriates the arteries with allows the build up of cholesterol. If I could find it I would post the link. Again natural vs. man made.0

I only use margarine as a lubricant.0

Margarine has one acceptable use to me: Buffalo wing sauce. It's tastes "wrong" with butter.0

My grandparents lived on a farm and produced a lot of their own food. They always had a milk cow and made their own butter. I spent a lot of time with them when I was a child and developed the taste for butter, margarine never has the same flavor. I remember my mother using margarine because it was cheaper but once I was on my own I only bought butter. Having read the research on margarine, I will never eat margarine. I would much rather have small amounts of butter on things that really matter (toast, mashed potatoes, etc) and allow for the calories in my daily allotment. The same with sugar and sugar substitutes. I'd much rather have the real thing than chemicals.0

Real butter all the way - just in moderation, as with everything. (When I say everything, I mean real food - not chemicals!)0

I eat real unsalted butter or the light Land O Lakes butter that is mixed with vegetable oil. It's spreadable, only 50 calories per tablespoon and reallly good. Sometimes I splurge and get the European butter (I think it's Irish or Danish) or the Amish unsalted butter that this little deli sells that is brought in from a nearby community. Sooooo freaking good.:flowerforyou:
But no, I do not eat margarine. I don't know if all that in that story is true, but I choose not to eat it anyway. Just butter and in moderation. :drinker:0 -
I'll stick with butter because it tastes way better than margarine. Pretty much the only reason.0

I hate the taste of butter, a rarely use either, but I'll take my substitute, and I'm pretty sure I'm not dying because of it. Or my diet coke for that matter.0

go vegan. problem solved.0

I don;t even think you can buy margarine in the UK anymore. I don't think anyone eats it.
Regardless of wether it is true of not, I only use butter. It is less processed. The same with low fat nonsense. If it;s low fat something you can guarantee it is full of chemicals and sweeteners to make it taste palatable.0 -
Call me an old stick in the mud but I prefer to get my dietary advice from registered dieticians instead of anonymous email forwards.
Love it!0 -
I use both. Each have their place and their uses. Plus butter is very expensive here.
And I'm sure the formulation is completely different and improved over the years since it was banned in Wisconsin in 1967.0
