Re: Butter vs Margarine

No one should ever use margarine. For anything. Seriously. It's not even food, it's like eating chemical + plastic. Disgusting..

Re: Butter vs Margarine

Nope, ask your doctor next time. Margarine is one of the worst things anyone can eat. If you're looking out for your health your best bet is to eat unsalted butter in small quantities.

FYI - Margarine is colored the nice looking yellow. It's actually black as the ace of spades.

Yep, a business partner of mine is a chemist and told me. Margarine is also 1 molecule away from being plastic.

So even though butter isn't the healthiest thing to have I choose it over margarine not just for cooking but for shaving as well. Just like Cosmo Kramer.

Re: Butter vs Margarine

Well let's just put it this way man...I've had three doctors in the past three years (due to moving around) and all three have told me to STAY AWAY FROM MARGARINE. All three said the same thing, eat unsalted butter in limited amounts.

And yes Liverpoolred - that reminds me of where I got the plastic thing from...it's basically eating hydrogenated oil and killing yourself a bite at a time. And anytime anyone is tempted by eating it, they should imagine it as black as you described and it should kill that notion..

Re: Butter vs Margarine

Hmm, so margarine doesn't have any dairy in it. I guess that explains why it can keep so long in the fridge. But to show how little I use it, when I moved into my apartment back in August 2007 I bought a 2 pack of Land-O-Lakes margarine and here almost 3 years later the first container is barely half used and the 2nd remains in the freezer. I don't like buttery foods and only use it when recipes call for it such as when making rice-a-roni or couscous.

Re: Butter vs Margarine

It has no nutritional value at all. Leave it out on your counter with the lid off. No flies will go near it.
