What about you?

Healthier, LOLOLOLOLOLOL It's whipped colored hydrogenated oil. Could hardly be worse for you. Tastes like puke as well.

The main reason it even exists is cost, pure and simple; it's cheaper.

no, not really, it is marketed as an healthier alternative to butter. I'll take butter thank you. Lard is also good

Prefer Butter too, but generally settle for Butter tasting Margarine. Mainly because of Cost, but also because of Shelf Life. My use of Butter/Margarine is too inconsistent and generally I just use it to Fry stuff.

butter, what's the matter with you?

 

[Xionide]

I have a theory that margarine people are also more fond of miracle whip over mayonaise. Am I wrong? Oh and btw butter rules. The only time I ever used margarine I vomited. Ok that was a lie. I once used it to lubricate my hamsters exercise wheel so it would stop squeaking. He licked the margarine off and died almost immediately. Land o lakes and best foods ftw!

Parkay !

Anyone else whip heavy cream to use as butter? I don't use it all the time, but sometimes I like that creamy buttermilk flavor for stuff like bagels or raisin bread.

 

[acheron]

Butter of course.

Margarine is hardly healthier than butter, more like the other way around.

This.

I like butter, but the new soft margarine is "better" for you (it's still loaded with saturated fat though).

Yes really. Marketing and reality are disparate objects. It's less than half the cost.

Butter, but that shit is so hard to handle if it's fresh out of the fridge. Cause of this, I usually use margerine. I still cook with it though, love the taste. Too bad it's got trans fat.

butter, but my wife likes margarine and she buys the groceries. i have to admit that i like the taste of the healthy choice margarine that she buys.

Butter for baking/cooking margarine for everyday use

 

[QurazyQuisp]

Butter, by far. All my other roommates like margarine. I think it's gross.

 

[KoolDrew]

Definitely butter.

Blame the French. Margarine is their fault.

Margarine (known in my family as "plastic butter", only half-jokingly) has the advantage of being able to be stored at room temperature (and therefore be MUCH easier to spread).

You can store butter at room temperature too. Just get one of these (or similar): http://www.amazon.com/Norpro-2...r-Keeper/dp/B0000VLURQ

 

[ZetaEpyon]

butter without question

Not even close.
Butter.

Going to start making my own butter this year from the goat's milk.

Butter >>> Margarine

I used to eat only butter, and more over the summer. Then my doctor said he wanted to put me on statins and I stopped butter cold. I haven't bought any margarine yet or similar pseudo butter, but I don't know if I'm going to buy any more butter. It's been mainly olive oil in terms of fat for me that I add to food in my kitchen. I cut out cheese too. Two months later my blood cholesterol had dropped like a stone.

You're all nuts. Actually, nuts would be much better for you than butter.

butter for baking/cooking... vegetable oil spread for everyday use, but there really is no "everyday use" for me. haven't eaten anything along the lines of bread and butter in a long time.
