Butter vs. Margarine

[leckert]

I think there's some research somewhere about natural fats being better for us than the low-fat stuff that's been promoted to everyone.
That aside, when cooking, unless the recipe specifically states margarine, I use butter. I use marg on sandwiches for spreadability so I always have some of both in the fridge.
I think cooking with butter tastes better (mash gets butter and not marg for taste reasons)

Cat; yes, hoping to do more of my bulk cooking and baking, and use the freezer. I guess I should have asked which is the lesser of two evils...
I don't buy organic butter, but I agree that it seems 'better' than marg cause it is more of a 'natural' product, and even though butter is higher in the saturated fat, doesn't marg have some highly processed vegetable fat in it that is worse for you than the saturated fat of butter?

I have no idea on the technicalities of things, but I prefer butter, purely for the fact it is an all natural product. If you look on the ingredients list and all there is in it is cream, water and salt, then I am a happy chappy.
