Margarine is so 1990s. No one with any sense uses that stuff anymore.

I use real butter. Margarine is gross.

It is used sparingly. I use mostly olive oil and beef tallow for regular cooking.

It's a myth that saturated fats are bad for you (in moderate amounts). I'd be more worried about transfats (not to be confused with transgenders).

I haven't bought margarine for so long, likely since the late 1980's.

As WW3 develops, no one is going to be dissing the "preppers." What have you done?

What is this "margarine" you speak of?

There is no substitute for butter.

If fly's won't touch margarine, you've got to wonder if they know something we don't?

As a farm kid we made fresh butter from real fresh dairy cream.

I've tried a number of butters since none of them come close, so I don't use either.

I prefer my food to be less processed/chemical. Butter from the store is less-process/less-chemical than margarine. There is no substitute for the good stuff you get on the farm, so I make do.
I haven't failed until I quit.
