Margarine vs Butter?

butter.
Margarine tastes like donkey *kitten*.0 -
You just can't beat the taste of butter. I stopped using margarine a couple years ago. Back in the day we were told margarine was a healthier choice over butter, and eggs were bad, and only nonfat foods were good. I don't buy into any of that now. I like using whipped butter though.
Now and then I'll make my own butter. Super simple. Just put some heavy whipping cream in a little container. Drop a marble in it. Close the lid and just shake the container until you have butter.0 -
As long as you hit your calorie and macro goals it's largely irrelevant/personal taste.
I have marge on my toast (it spreads better from the fridge) and cook with butter (obviously tastier for sauces)..0 -
Butter in recipes and on toast. Cooking spray for coating pans. If recipes call for oil, then it's EVOO. I can't believe it's not butter spray for steamed veggies eaten by themselves… But I don't do this very much anymore. Steamed veggies usually get eaten with pasta and I prefer just mixing them in with the noodles and pasta sauce.0

I can't believe that you don't believe that "I can't believe it's not butter" is not butter.....
I only use butter.... fat is not fattening and tastes so much better to me.0 -
Real butter! I've never liked the taste of margarine, and it's so unappealing when there's a natural alternative.0

Margarine inflames your gut, real grassfed butter is one of the best things you can put in your diet. Remember guys is saturated fat is bad breast milk wouldn't be over 50% of it.0

real butter always beats any replacement, the problem is to find good one.
Margarine is pretty bad for you. It is like asking is it better to put chemicals or natural products in your body0 -
In for real sweet cream unsalted butter. Yummmmm
ETA: for spreadable real butter, use a butter bell.0 -
I use Land O' Lakes Light Butter with Canola Oil.... 50 calories for 1 tablespoon which is plenty for a toasted light english muffin (90 calories) or whatever else you prefer.
Hope this helps...

Butter.
Bacon is a seasoning, btw, not a meat. Just so you know.0 -
Being lactose intolerant, I use Earth Balance original buttery spread. It tastes just like butter. It is also vegan, gluten and casein free; and non gmo.0

butter has fat, but it doesn't have added artificial...Use some butter if you need to bake.0

Butter, the real thing.0

That is a silly comparison - if breast milk has over 50% saturated fat that is because it meets the dietary needs of infants.
This does not correlate to 50% saturated fat is good for adults.
I use margarine, it is cheaper and spreads better.
Butter and margarine both taste fine to me, I don't use much of it anyway and the health advantages or disadvantages of either in the small quantities that I consume are really a non issue.
If people prefer butter, that's fine - but the idea that people using margarine cannot be healthy is just silly.0 -
Butter. Because: delicious.0
-
I agree0
-
Neither one. Bacon fat for the win.0
-
I grew up on margarine because it was cheaper and "healthier" (or so my Mom thought)
Now I only use unsalted butter, tastes way better and a little bit if fat is part of a good diet. I only have margarine now when I go back to my parents, but I'm slowly starting to get my Mom on the butter train0 -
Butter, I've always had it marg is just wrong.
Fat isn't bad for you in moderation.0
