Got that right! Canβt fool Mother Nature with that other stuff!
We made all of our butter on the farm and then moved to Arizona and my mother would cook with margarine for years and that could be the reason she passed at 97?

My mother would not eat butter. Don't know why,she just didn't like it. I was raised on Blue Bonnet margarine. Since I went in the Army and came home and got married I have never eaten it again. All I use is butter. In fact now my wife won't use any butter that's not made from grass fed cows.

Thats what I said. My wife insists she knows that cows are kept in the barn and are given grain feed.

Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back.
It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavorings....
DO YOU KNOW.. The difference between margarine and butter?
Read on to the end...gets very interesting!
Both have the same amount of calories.
Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams; compared to 5 grams for margarine.
Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.
Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.
Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few and only because they are added!
Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavors of other foods.
Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years .
And now, for Margarine..
Very High in Trans fatty acids.
Triples risk of coronary heart disease ...
Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol)
Increases the risk of cancers up to five times..
Lowers quality of breast milk
Decreases immune response.
Decreases insulin response.
And here's the most disturbing fact... HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!
Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC... and shares 27 ingredients with PAINT.
These facts alone were enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).
Open a tub of margarine and leave it open in your garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you will notice a couple of things:
* no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something)
* it does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value ; nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weeny microorganisms will not a find a home to grow.
Why? Because it is nearly plastic . Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?
Share This With Your Friends.....(If you want to butter them up')!
Chinese Proverb:
When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others.
Pass the BUTTER PLEASE

Mr. BadBobby: I will leave you with lyrics from a Tommy Makem and The Clancy Brothers ditty: Ahem! Ahem! Me mother has gone to church. She told me not play with you because you're in the dirt. It isn't because you're dirty. It isn't because you're clean. It's because you've got the Whoopin' Cough, and eat margareen. Now that's as close as I can get to the actual lyrics. You, on the other hand, have managed to get the facts about the butter/margerine conspiracy spot on. I should know. My father and I delivered milk, butter, and everything else that a small dairy farm could produce, years ago, in a galaxy far, far away. Hello from the Milky Way.

Amen and it is gonna get even more twisted.
Why is it that everything as far as ethnicity goes befor AMERICAN.
If you were born here shouldn't AMERICAN come before any or ethnicity.??
Just curious if I am being stupid say so. The only one AMERICAN comes before is the AMERICAN INDIAN.
In that case they were here before it was America

Tennessee Ernie Ford sang about milking the cows:
I get up in the morning 'fore anything stirs,
and get slapped by a tail full of cuckleburrs.
I was raised more or less a city boy, and when I was little I thought that milk came from bottles. Later on, cartons. My country cousins liked their milk fresh squeezed and referred to pasteurized milk as "machine milk".
And yes, my Uncle could squeeze that cow and hit the cat in the mouth without wasting hardly a drop! I tried milking, I had trouble hitting the bucket!
I remember my Dad telling me about going to the neighbors farm in the 1920s and milking their cows be fore hiking to school.

Loved when the electric milking machine came along. Still had to carry the bucket to the milk house and up a step stool to pour it in the tank. Then the pipepline came that took it to the milk house. Then automated flush systems that washed the βcrapβ out of the alleys out into a settling pond no more scraping corrals - oh what memories. Modern day luxury.
My father insisted we use Oleo, I hated it. When we went to Grandma's house we always had Land-O-Lakes, and I loved it, even if it was hard (kept in the fridge). When I was 8 or 9 yrs old, she gave me a lb of L-O-L for my birthday. Best present I got that year!
