I can't stand margarine for anything unless it is "I can't believe its Butter" with olive oil. Margarine ruins toast, and it is terrible for frying eggs. The water in it makes everything soggy including popcorn which should be a sin. It does have a lot of salt and people mistake that for flavor and its not.

That has been my 1st rant, now on to the second.

Why do people drink "lite" beer..? The beer they are drinking is (IMHO) terrible to begin with and now they drink it "Lite" which makes it even worse. Get a glass, put some ice in it and pour that crappy beer in it, you now have "Lite" beer for all intents and purpose.

I have spoken. Now I am going to take my scripts and rest.

    90% of the people who celebrate Cinco de Mayo don't even know what it is about.

    Margarine? Isn't that Trans Fats? Partially hydrogenated stuff? Clogs arteries much worse than butter or even lard. Right? Wasn't that what all the fuss was over trans fats?

    Only margarine. Never touch butter, unless there's no other choice for bread in a restaurant. Don't need the cholesterol. Some margarine (generally the stick kinds) have transfats, but many of them don't. Margarine is still comparatively healthier than butter since there is less cholesterol and most margarines have higher levels of monosaturated and polyunsatured fats, which can help reduce bad HCL. Generally, unless baking, I use tub margarines of the "healthy heart" variety. Since I'm unwilling to give up pizza and don't cut red meats entirely out of my diet, using margarine instead of butter is a no-brainer for cutting some cholesterol exposure.

    Butter only. Ever. Cant stand the taste of margarine and I don't eat enough butter to kill myself because of it.
