How much are you being paid by what ever margarine company you work for to disseminate this schlup? Heart Healthy My Saturated Fat Ass. Humans have been able to extract oils from seeds for thousands of years, without the need for the dangerous hexanes and extremely high temperatures that your company uses before it bleaches, deodorizes and colours the grey inedible slop that results. Why have our ancestors only extracted oils from olives, sesame seeds, coconut and palm oil? And what the hell is a Canola anyway. http://editor.nourishedmagazine.com.au/articles/is-canola-oil-healthy Emma, is that your real name?

The bread (a very nice, crusty little baguette) came with butter in a little dish. I took a bite, and told my mom that something was wrong with their butter. Turns out, it was margarine! I had to ask for real butter - weird! I could not believe it. After all, we weren't at Cracker Barrel. And the bread was so nice, we were really surprised that this restaurant served margarine with their bread. It just seemed so, um, cheesy. (But not in a good, yummy, real food kind of cheesy way).

Oh yeah...plastic food is good for your heart! Interesting...breastmilk and whole milk are recommended for young babies for their brain development. It is the fat and cholesterol content specifically that facilitates this. And yet, margarine sellers and a whole lot of other food processors want us to switch our diets to fat free, low fat, and plastic foods. Does anyone else wonder what effect this has on attention span issues, depression, concentration, memory problems? Who among us wants our brain development and growth to slow or halt at age 2? And yet, we feed it as if it no longer needed the same thing it needed before. Hmmmm.... No thanks Emma. I like my food REAL. Bwwwhahhahhahaaa :D You mean I’ve got “margarine spam”??!?!

I always try to consume a heart healthy diet because heart disease runs in my family and I also work with the National Association of Margarine Manufacturers so I know how important a healthy diet is! An overall healthy diet includes consuming a wide range of foods in moderation. A heart healthy diet includes fruits and vegetables, grains, dairy products, meat and beans, and oils Simply switching to margarine can greatly impact family health, as margarine products contain no cholesterol, little to no trans fats, and taste great!

I never understood why a recipe would call for margarine instead of butter, that never made sense to me. Butter always makes it better! I love butter, and I hate Margarine too!

However, once margarine came along, her mother started buying that and stopped making butter!! My mom said butter "hurt" her mother's stomach. To this day my mom eats margarine. I grew up on it. For years, I have been eating only unsalted butter. I can't stand the taste of margarine now! Susan When my mom was growing up, during the depression, her mother made good homemade butter.
