butter and marg - thought this was interesting

[Arimeh]

We get Nuttelex (sp?) its cheaper than both of them. But before I found that, I was using butter - not margarine (yuk!)

BLERK, not only all that but margarine tastes foul as well.

Check out your Nuttelex Arimeh & how it's made...

I use a 250g block of pure unsalted butter. I have a china butter container and because I live in a cool climate I leave it out year round so it's always soft. No additives... Costs $1.60 a block.

When I go to the organic supermarket down the coast I buy the organic butter and it is absolutely gorgeous - heavenly..

We have been using butter here for years now and I cringe when I make toast or something at my Mum's house as she still uses margarine... it definitely tastes disgusting.

I agree with FC, organic butter is amazing... we buy it fortnightly at our local markets for a treat

Ok, I had no idea about any of this!!!

I thought butter was much higher in fat and I was doing the right thing by buying marg - not anymore!!

Ohh I am off to buy Pure Unsulted butter, I had no idea Marg was not better. I have been buying DH that "lower salt, heart approved m.lea "

Is the no name butter just as good as the bigger named ones ?

[Lisa]

We use the No Name stuff here and I can't tell the difference between that and the big named brands.

I'm going to have to get DH to read this because he insists I buy the 'lower cholesterol1' type marg too. I'm switching to butter next fortnight now!1

another inetresting fact: type 2 diabetes did not exist at all until margarine was invented. Not saying margarine is the only cause but TYPE 2 diabetes was non existant 100 or so years ago, even amongst obese people........I believe it is all the additives and processing of foods that has caused it in the first place....

Is there a butter that spreads nicely? I hate hard butter which takes chunks out of your bread when you try to spread it.
