I like butter but doesn't spread on toast and in humid areas goes bad fast! I also have high cholesterol so what do I use??

I am quite surprised at how many are butter eaters. We also switched to butter several years ago, love the salty sweet taste and it is better for you. Now, I will probably shock some of you, by saying, I bought some Lard last week. Of course, I grew up with my Grandmother and Mom cooking with lard and remember how tasty pan fried potatoes were. I had recently read that lard is not as bad for us as we have been told. Although I don't know if lard now is the same as lard then. If anyone knows Please share.

It was in the late 40's, during rationing due to WWII. And boy, do I remember, that always became my job, to mix that darn yellow dye into the horrid white glob. Guess at the time, it was better than nothing because there was no butter available. I also remember saving gum wrappers, the metallic part, for the war effort and string, great balls of string were collected. Have no idea what that was used for. A thought just struck me, possibly butter was availabe, but you had ration coupons and you had to figure carefully how many coupons you had and what you could get for them, so if you didn't have enough points for butter, you got margarine.

Only butter here. Remember the margarine with the color dot. My mother bought one bag - we loved passing it around until it turned yellow. Then we tasted it, and that was the end of margarine for us. I never used it in my home. Only butter.

we have used nothing but real butter for years as magerine is just one step away from being tupperware and yes natural is so much healthier no crisco for me either and I do remember those bags with the yellow dye

I switched many years ago but can't convince DH, was at a health food store and this is what she said too.....its natural so your body can recognize it and break it down.
