I know butter make you fat and "spread" is the healthy option but which is better for you?

[LadyTophamHatt]

because I read something yesterday that margarine is one molecule(or something) away from plastic!!!

Ewwwwww

Butter here too

thanks squarer,will ahve a go

Just back from shoping and have butter and only butter in my bags!

You can get organic, vegan, non-hydrogenated spreads.

But they are a sad substitute for butter

butter. cos marg is the petoleum of satan.

My MIL had run out of butter and so cooked using marg - I suspect that she always does given the number of trips to A&E that have been made after going there.

She phoned 2 days later to ask if he'd had a reaction - dh said he had a mild reaction mostly on his face. "Oh, no, he had the rash on his face when he came - that one must be your fault" she says.

I want to strangle that woman.

Apparently margarine is one of the only foods that rats won't touch.

And if you leave a tub of marg out the flies won't touch it either. Considering what flies do find palatable it convinced me to ditch the spreads!

are the spreadable butters any worse then the hard butters for you?
