Butter or Magarine: Which Do You Prefer?

[dgridley]

Which do you prefer? Butter or margarine? Anyone have a favorite brand to share?

I usually use margarine, mainly because it's less expensive and easier to spread. I prefer a brand that doesn't melt on contact when you spread it on toast.. hate when it makes the toast a soggy mess!

I love honey butter, but it's usually too expensive as well..

Butter doesn't clog the arteries like margarine does. Butter has a better flavor, and a lower melting point. Butter melts at body temperature, where margarine requires a person to run a fever in order for it to freely through arteries and blood vessels. When it comes to maintaining health, I pull out all the stops. Spend the money on nutritious eating when you are young enough, and you won't have to spend your money on doctor visits, and drugs when you grow older.

I find it simple to put a couple tbsp. of butter in a small bowl and nuking it for a few seconds, just to loosen it up. Then I apply it to my bread with a pastry brush.

I use light margarine on toast and veggies. I use reg. margarine or butter for baking with. Light margarine contains too much water to bake with and you might not like the results.

I agree on everything here except I do have to change the fact that I am a butter 'gal'.

Nice, I like "butter gals". I bet your chin turns yellow when a dandelion is held underneath.
