    I use whichever one is on offer. I do love the taste of butter

    I usually use Becel light, because: calories.
    I'm on a fairly low end of the calorie allowance scale (1200-1400) so 100-200 calories in butter could equal a couple of snacks, or half a meal.
    But I agree....nothing tastes like real butter!

    Odd that we have to import butter from grass fed cows. I can't find any domestic product.

    It helps when you live in a butter producing state. I can get it at many of my local grocery stores (regular stores, not natural foods stores).

    Butter!!! Margarine tastes nasty to me, and the color scares me.

    Depends on what they use. Many of the better brands use annato seed which is also used to give butter its color as well as giving cheddar its orange color. Totally natural.

    Land o Lakes WHIPPED butter is a good compromise for those who want spreadable butter without canola oil.

    ^This.

    I'll use the store brand for things like waffles that I make every day for the family, but when I'm putting a pat of butter on my veggies? I want the good stuff.

    Bonus? Kerry Gold is softer than regular butter straight out of the fridge. It spreads nicely on toast.

    Butter.

    We leave a stick of butter in a covered tray on the counter, except on the hottest days of summer.

    Butter...is this really a serious debate?

    Margarine is sadness in a plastic tub.
