I prefer margerine over butter. Butter is natural and better for you. Margerine is made by man it's composed of plastic and it's not a genuine food. Have you noticed if you sit margerine out flies won't even touch it.
What do you use butter or margerine and why???

I wont use butter. It is made from cows milk which isn't a natural product at all. It is normal for animals to drink the milk of other animals, so I don't eat butter as it is made from milk.
I eat soya margarine. Yes it is processed, and in no way could be described as natural, but at least no animal suffered in order for me to eat it.

if milk from cows isn't natural, what is it? is it chemical?

No animal has to be harmed for butter. You don't have to slaughter a cow to get butter. Even as a vegatarian I used butter. Sweet unpasteurized butter is the best. And babies have the casin enzyme in them to break down cows milk up to the age of about three years old.

I eat butter. I think margerine tastes funny and it usually doesn't satisfy me as much. I've found that if there is no butter and I have to use margerine, i'd honestly rather go without.

Was that a typo, Zoom? you wrote that you prefer margarine over butter, but then inform us how horrible margarine is.
I do prefer natural butter over margarine, for flavor, scent, consistency. And used to churn my own, and then use the butter milk after working the butter for baking with.
I did not know that oleo was a plastic though. I thought it was a veg. oil.

its not made from plastic
its just hydrogenated (thickened) oil, tey use platinum to do that
those "trans fats" cause cancer
its better to just eat butter, especially organic, since toxins are stored and concentrated in fats

I use unsalted butter in a limited fashion. Saturated fats tend to give me a headache no matter what I use. But, I can't seem to find unsalted margarine, so I use butter.
