Butter or Margarine?

[Alexander the Straight]

Just curious to find out what's the general preference of folk here!

Came across a video clip pointing out the higher incidence of Alzheimers among people following low cholesterol diets /use of statins.

Another interesting thing the guy pointed out was that if you left a blob of butter and Margarine outdoors, nearly every single animal would consume the butter but not one would touch the margarine.

My personal preference has always been butter, I guess that came from my dad.

Butter. Always butter.

Mayonnaise

Nothing more irritating than people using margarine but they call it butter.
We use 90% butter, maybe making a white sauce or something will use margarine or kids will use it for a sandwich if the butter is too hard.

Butter. There is some evil crap in margarine

After years of margarine, I have switched back to butter. The taste alone is worth it.

Grease.

Actually butter.

 

[Nuke]

Butter. Lots and lots of butter.

Better taste and is actually healthy, wouldn't touch Margarine with a pole. Only thing worse than seed oils is processed seed oils.

I have both in the fridge. Margarine spreads more easily on toast in winter.

We leave our butter out in the winter.

I buy Butro which if I look at the ingriedents and compare saurated vs unsaturated fats I guess is about half of each.
Cooking I also tend to use both as well as coconut oil to spread the love.

[tetrasect]

Coconut butter is much nicer than margarine.

You guys are amateurs... first make toast, take hard brick of butter out of fridge, take blunt bread knife(better leverage with a big knife but you want a blunt one so you don't slice the fingers in the process) and skim off nice thin slices of butter, place thin slices of butter on toast and watch as it melts, spread when at suitable softness.
Done.. and it works every day of the year even with rock hard butter.

I do that, but everyone does not eat toast the whole day. Kids do not take toast to school.

Too cold! I prefer summers for spreading
