BUTTER IS SICK

Swordsaint, that depends on what type of margarine and how it's prepared. The belief that margarine is nothing but "evil plastic" is misguided. It's made from vegetable oils. Molecularly speaking, that explains why it seems similar to plastics. Plastics are made from petrochemicals.

Butter alternatives were created throughout history during dairy shortages. Nowadays, when selected carefully, they can be viable substitutes for butter. In fact, contrary to the popular belief that butter is better (being natural), it can also be less detrimental to your health. The American Heart Association suggests buying soft, trans-fat-free spreads instead of regular butter or stick margarine. You have to deliberately look for the one with the lowest trans fat and saturated fats. Buy whipped, since you'll be eating less per volume.

In all, be it butter or margarine, go easy on them. Neither beyond small moderation are good.

Margarine is one molecule away from being plastic.

The New York Rangers suck. And Sidney Crosby is a cry baby!

butter, oil, salt, pepper, lemons(might or might not be prepared together)....its like the cornerstone to cooking get used to it

im a cook, we have like 40lb's of butter in our fridge, its not like im gonna open up a pound and start munching

and to whoever said there far worse things than butter, yea like 90% of Americans diet (im american and more than likely fall into that 90%) anything processed, or most importantly read labels i bet you more than half the stuff you pick up in the market first thing on the label is high fructose corn syrup

most deadly weapon in america, high fructose corn syrup

if your actually interested in this stuff watch food inc. its amazing makes you think twice before picking up something like a burger, or chicken meat...hgh injected chicken, then cant even walk, they just constantly fall down. Why i switched to free range chickens.

How has no one responded to this comment? Hilarious!!

Butter is actually real food, people. Unlike oleo and lard and grease and goodness whatever these butter "substitutes" are made from!

Do you realize that in WW2 butter was sent to the troops and there was no butter being made for families in the home and stores. So they came up with oleo which is no better than lard! And when you bought it, it came with a yellow dye packet. You were advised to mix this dye in with your oleo to make it look like butter. Oh yeah, oleo is actually white.

GET REAL!!
If you are afraid of butter then don't eat anything other than coconut oil. Olive oil clogs arteries too so does anything that is not real food.

before you start spouting what the media says do some research.

My advice...eat food---- not anything that says it is a SUBSTITUTE FOR FOOD.

If you could get on them, the next course of action would be to order some extra butter people.

LOL!! This is currently my favorite comment on IMDB.COM!

I grew up on a dairy farm, so you'd think we'd have had butter all the time, right? Wrong. My mother bought Parkay. I only had real butter occasionally, sweet (unsalted) butter, so I didn't think I liked it.

Then when I was away from home and taken on dates to nice restaurants that served butter, it was like "where have you been all my life?" I like sweet butter now, too.

Crusty french bread with butter--I can make a meal off it.

I never buy margarine and keep butter in a butter bell, so it's always at a nice spreading consistency.

A few years ago, my husband got on a diet kick and bought some tub margarine. I wouldn't touch it, and he forgot about it and it got pushed to the back of the fridge. After 3 years, and long past the expiration date, it looked exactly the same.

Real food should go bad or spoil.



Roland, that's a lilac bush!

I've never been fond of butter growing up esp eating it point blank like spreading it on bread,.BUT I always have some in the fridge for things like brownies,cookies,cakes, etc. And it's nearly impossible to eat popcorn without butter.

I can't believe this conversation ain't butter......
