Someone has been reading too many Internet emails. One would be better served reading the Snopes.com statement on the butter vs margarine one molecule subject, even if it is slightly outdated now. I love my margarines.

snopes.com: Butter, Margarine and Heart Attacks

I stick to butter - but the sad thing - restaurants use that liquid chemical crap and call it liquid margarine - butter is better. Butter comes from cream - straight from the cow - and I trust the cows more than I trust food processing facilities. Yes, I have read it all and all the pros and cons of the butter vs margarine posts - but today's margarine is not like the margarine from years ago either - so I'll stick to butter.

This sounds interesting. Anyway, butter and other types of food processing facilities does not matter most when you'll first to try new recipe. When I have done it right, that is the time I'll look for which I can make an alternative to make it better, safer and healthier dishes. Just my point.
