What butter or substitute do you use most in your diet?

[debodun]

Butter, margarine or a butter substitute like Smart Balance?

 

[RadishRose]

Butter.

 

[hollydolly]

Butter...

 

[Camper6]

Margarine only. Because I do a lot of cooking.

 

[CeeCee]

Butter.

 

[Wren]

Butter and sometimes Bertolli, a spread containing olive oil

 

[Falcon]

Only BUTTER !

 

[NancyNGA]

Only BUTTER !

Me too.

Long ago I used Imperial Margarine for a while. It had the highest amount of dairy in it, and was the best tasting substitute, imo. I haven't bought it lately, and it's probably changed now. It's also always been the cheapest, probably because of the high dairy content. It's been around a long time, since 1956.

Seems I read once that OLEO is ONE atom short of being PLASTIC !

That's why I never have it in the house!

I'd NEVER put oleo on a baked potato or an ear of corn. YUK !

 

[Lara]

Me either Falcon...Just REAL Organic Salted Butter (unless the recipe calls for unsalted).

 

[tortiecat]

Butter - semi-salted for eating and non-salted for baking.

 

[hearlady]

Butter, olive oil, coconut oil, and sometimes I get a spoon of husband's Smart Balance if it's convenient.

 

[Uptosnuff]

Butter for me. Organic, from pasture raised cows. If I can, I buy it local from the NFC.

 

[Lon]

I Can't Believe It's Butter or Olive Oil

 

[terry123]

Only real butter for me. I will buy it on sale and freeze. Keep soft butter in fridge for toast etc.

 

[SeaBreeze]

I use butter, light olive oil, extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil and Smart Balance original.

 

[Smiling Jane]

I use ghee from pasture-raised cows, evoo, coconut oil, avocado oil and a variety of nut oils.

 

[nvtribefan]

Unsalted butter for cooking.
Kerrygold for SO's table use. I don't butter things.

 

[applecruncher]

I hate butter, always have hated butter.
I never buy it.
MARGARINE....store brand or Parkay.

(Running from the angry mob nthego: )

 

[debbie in seattle]

Kerrygold for table use, regular butter for cooking.

 

[Lara]

Yes debbie, I've heard Kerrygold is the best brand to buy. I bought it once but didn't notice a difference between that and the Organic Trader Joe's brand I usually buy. Like wine, I'm sure there are many whose taste buds can detect a big difference.

 

[hollydolly]

Kerrygold although produced in Ireland has always been one of our poorest selling butters here in the UK... it's always ranked so much lower in the popularity stakes than most others , so it's surprising to see so many of you in the USA seem to enjoy it more than any other...

[rkunsaw]

Butter. We recently switched to unsalted to reduce the amount of salt in our diet. We keep one stick on the counter in a butter dish so it can be spread, a few sticks in the refrigerator and extra in the freezer.

 

[JaniceM]

I don't like butter. I use Blue Bonnet Light margarine.

Hmmm, thanks for the article, I think.....we don’t buy the softened kind, just the sticks. Don’t think there’s much sacred or truthful these days.
