Pass the BUTTER please.......

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.

I only use margarine as a lubricant.

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

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.

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

I'll stick with butter because it tastes way better than margarine. Pretty much the only reason.

go vegan. problem solved.

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!
