Given the opportunity, I will always choose real (butter) vs chemical (margarine). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/butter#post-276203 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 13:00:06 +0000 Mrs. Pen 276203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: @Minnie_Girl: Yay people who don't think I'm crazy ;) heh yeah I wouldn't eat a whole stick either but I no longer have guilt cooking with it and slathering it on my food!</p> <p>@Minnie_girl: yup. I was reading how coconut oil helps stretch marks disappear! I haven't tried it yet because I'm testing another product but I will soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/butter#post-276175 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 12:35:56 +0000 SugarplumsMom 276175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love butter. I wish we had more options available here (there's only 2 brands) but it works! My Mom buys Anchor butter, a New Zealand brand and it's yummy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/butter#post-276036 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 11:17:02 +0000 Andrea 276036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Real butter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/butter#post-276025 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 11:14:20 +0000 Honeybee 276025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Real, unsalted butter.

The cheapie Blue Bonnet brand. I looveee butter, buttered toast, buttered bagles, buttery rice (my fave.). My mom uses margirine, and I don't mind it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/butter#post-275996 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 11:01:28 +0000 blackbird 275996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's the article I was trying to butter being 'good' for you: <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/grass-fed-butter/" rel="nofollow">http://www.marksdailyapple.com/grass-fed-butter/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/butter#post-275991 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 10:58:07 +0000 Minnie_Girl 275991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Preach it, @Coco Bee! Foods with fat and cholesterol are good for you...it's the carbs, sugars, and industrial junk that should really be avoided. </p> <p>I've also read that a diet with plenty of healthy fats encourages hydrated, flexible skin...meaning your diet can affect your likelihood of getting stretch marks during pregnancy. All the more reason to go fry up my lunch spinach in butter. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/butter#post-275979 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 10:54:46 +0000 blackbird 275979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>^ Cocobee, there's a lot of research out there to show that to lose weight, you need to go low carb, NOT low fat! I'm with you--healthy fats are good for you :) I'm not going to eat a stick of butter, but I don't feel bad about putting it on my food, either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/butter#post-275970 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 10:50:27 +0000 Mrs. Pen 275970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been learning about lot about nutrition recently and have found that butter IS healthy. I'm not even joking!! It is one of the healthiest fats in it's purest form. We buy Kerrygold 100% grass fed cow butter and it is to. die. for. So rich and yummy.</p> <p>I was even reading that healthy fats like butter, olive oil, avocados and coconut oil are huge if you're trying to lose weight. It sounds contradicting but it's true! There is a book out called "Eat Fat to Lose Fat" and it's all about how we were taught that fat is bed, but fat in a pure form (unaltered, unprocessed) is good.</p> <p>It's an interesting new study on food- and I'll take it!! I love me some yummy butter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/butter#post-275958 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 10:44:25 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 275958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use real, unsalted butter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/butter#post-275926 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 10:26:53 +0000 pinkcupcake 275926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Butter! Especially grass-fed butter -- so rich!</p> <p>@HeatherlovesKenny: Garlic butter chicken?? That sounds sooo good!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/butter#post-275922 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 10:25:19 +0000 PurplePumps 275922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If we use butter, it's going to be real butter. As fatty and 'unhealthy' as it is, I will always choose real natural butter over chemically margarine or spreads. Same goes for sugar vs splenda or equal or anything like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/butter#post-275917 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 10:22:14 +0000 chopsuey 275917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love butter!!!!

Very tasty substitute. I bought it originally for my vegan friend for Thanksgiving one year, and I have been hooked ever since. My LO loves it on toast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/butter#post-275890 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 10:08:18 +0000 MamaMoose 275890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Real butter.

It's a treat. I do like it on my rice, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/butter#post-275879 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 09:57:00 +0000 HLK208 275879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use light spreadable butter on toast and we use butter in baking but other than that we use extra virgin olive oil to cook veggies or Pam for meat, eggs, etc. Oh unless a recipe specially calls for butter like garlic butter chicken then we just use the real thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/butter#post-275871 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 09:53:09 +0000 DillonLion 275871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Real butter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/butter#post-275870 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 09:52:18 +0000 regberadaisy 275870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We keep unsalted butter for baking and cooking sauteed peppers &amp; onions. Besides that we don't use butter on anything else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/butter#post-275866 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 09:50:55 +0000 MrsBrewer 275866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Butter only here too!

Although we've had unsalted butter in the house lately because I've been cooking for the baby and because I've been baking, and it is NOT the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/butter#post-275857 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 09:46:09 +0000 mrskc 275857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Real butter all the way for me. None of that fake stuff with trans fat. And just because it says 0 grams trans fat doesn't mean it still isn't there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/butter#post-275854 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 09:44:32 +0000 oliviaoblivia 275854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yummmm buttttttttterrrrr!</p> <p>Only real butter in our house. </p>
