3. I like margarine. n/t

[Danmel]

4. Most of the time, I use butter

Nothing like the real thing and Julia Child lived to 92 eating lots of butter. When I am cooking for people who keep kosher, I'll use margarine if I'm making a meat meal, cause meat and milk don't mix!

5. Butter, in moderation, won't kill you

but I think margarine in any amount is bad for you.

[Starlight]

10. I agree. I absolutely won't touch margarine. n/t

6. Grandma uses something called Oleo, which I think is just Butter?

[sui generis]

9. Oleo is margarine

from a latin-ish root for "oil" - think, linOLEUm.

[mcscajun]

13. Yup...it started out being called Oleomargarine

and the Oleo got dropped along the way. Same disgusting stuff; same disgusting mouth feel.

12. I went to the Dr. yesterday to for a check-up on my high blood pressure

and he asked me if I ate butter or margarine. I said butter, because I could recognize all the ingredients. My husband was there, and he is a margarine eater, much to my chagrin. He eats the kind without the trans-fats, and thinks that is better for him. I have been really fussing at him to eat butter, as it is better for him. Yesterday, I was vindicated! The doctor agreed with me, and said that margarine was only one chemical step away from being a plastic!! Yuck. Give me butter anytime. Because of my high blood pressure, I only eat unsalted butter; still yummy!

ps. Hubby said that he will start eating more butter after listening to what the Dr. said.

14. The most recent studies say buttah is bettah!

Margarine = hydrolized fats and oils. BAD STUFF.

Butter is udder delight!

[Cannikin]

15. 'I Cant Believe Its Not Butter' is my usual choice

[Rabrrrrrr]

16. Butter. Margarine is for idiots who have no taste buds and don't

care what they put in their bodies. (except for those who actually are sick in some way and can't have butter, whether for allergies or heart or etc.).

But otherwise, Yuck! NO ONE should eat that shit!

Nothing like some good ol' tasteless petrochemical bullshit to put in the body.

[El Fuego]

17. Buttah!!!!

[arwalden]

18. That Depends On What We're Using It For... And...

NO SEX THREADS!!

[tjdee]

19. Butter, it's like butta!

When I was a little kid I thought margarine was cool because it's easier to spread, but now it just tastes like oil to me.
