Butter vs. Margarine

[meow]

Ohh your butter is going to be SO GOOD!! Fermented butter is very powerful healing stuff too I need to try and make some...

[Cherished]

No worries Netix, I will let you know how it turns out. It will be a few weeks away I'd imagine until I sort myself out and get organised.

Meow I hope so! I'm just a wee little bit excited about it.... I sent you a pm about it the other day actually when I found the raw biodynamic organic dairy farm. You probably haven't replied because you think I'm stark raving mad cause I am very enthusiastic about it

I make cultured butter in the Thermomix & yoghurt maker. I add a bit of yoghurt to the cream, put it in the yoghurt maker for 24hours, then make the butter in the TMX. So yummy.

Natural, saturated fats like butter and lard are good for you. The smear campaign against them is just based on bad science from the more profitable refined vegetable oil producers.

I take issue with this statement. There is a lot of evidence that the incorrect balance of omegas in people's diets (from eating milk and animal fats from non-pasture-fed animals) sets a whole inflammatory process in motion in the body (precursor to the development of cancer, diabetes, arthritis, etc). It is much healthier to eat a high proportion of oils that are high in omega 3s (fish, olive, flaxseed) than those high in omega 6s (non-grass-fed dairy and red meat fats, including butter, vegetable oils such as corn, sunflower, safflower, soy and yes that includes most margarines). Yes Butter is preferable to margarine, but it's most beneficial to consider substituting some of the healthier unprocessed vegetable oils for that animal fat.

I totally agree that butter is better than margarine. And Olive oil is better than anything. And all fats should be had in moderation.

I have found a good use for margarine..... Getting chewing gum out of hair. DD got it in her hair last night, and I used a little of this morning to get it out! That is all.

[meow]

Better than eating it!

Haha, at least it works! Apparently peanut butter does that same thing! Lol
