I wish they had a product made of soy with green food coloring called Soylent Green. I'd buy for the novelty factor in a heartbeat.

Earth Balance is gross so if that is the best no one should ever eat margarine.

Margarine is one of THE most disgusting things ever created. It does not taste good.

R8 It certainly tastes better than the sort my Kosher grandparents used. I have some vegan friends who use it, and was surprised how good it was [italic] for margarine [/italic]. Other friends who cannot tolerate dairy use Smart Balance, and a Country Crock variety. Out of the three, Earth Balance is the best flavour.

If you have one you think is better, share.

R15 I'm definitely Team Butter: Kerrygold, President, or Lurpak for me. Just because butter or saturated animal fat has been cleared by another new study still doesn't take people's allergies away. Many break out in huge painful cysts, or break out in hives. There still is a place in the market for the synthetic stuff for the allergic, the religious types, and the vegans.

Then, there are those such as R10 who simply prefer it because that's what they've grown accustomed to. I've met many people like that growing up. Margarine was very common in Britain growing up. Many families always had both in the house, yet the margarine was for sandwiches and toast, and butter was more for baking or sautéing.

I used to avoid butter and margarine for years, until I learned how important healthy fats are for brain health. Now, I try to select butter from grazed cattle. I grew up consuming margarine, but I now do my best to eat foods in their simplest form. I respect the motivations of Vegans, but won't live my life according to some of the rules, even though many of my meals would be considered vegan.

When I lived in Wisconsin as a child in the 60's it was illegal to sell margarine, it is the dairy state after all. You could get the ingredients for margarine in a plastic pouch and you could squeeze the pouch to mix the ingredients to mix the margarine but it was illegal to sell it already mixed, ready to use margarine.

Butter in small quantities and not eaten daily not such a huge cholesterol risk as thought according to my nutritionist but the idea is to be mindful of all animal fats consumed that day and portion size.

Margarine like the kind they have at Sprouts tastes pretty good on nutty black bread. Just not daily and, again, portion, artificial ingredient content and frequency.

I was looking for a margarine that doesn’t have soy or corn oil, and I couldn’t find anything. Even “olive oil” Smart Balance has canola oil, which I’m not supposed to eat because it’s from a family of vegetables I have a reaction to. Anybody know of a margarine that does not have soy oil, canola or corn oil? Like real olive oil margarine, if there is such a thing.

by Anonymousreply 83August 14, 2020 4:21 PM

R83, and about 99% of them I can’t have. No dairy, red meat, spices of any kind, beans, corn, rice, eggs, pork, fish, chickpeas, tomatoes, peanut, avocado, soy, onion, garlic, celery, all condiments, sugar, almost all fruit, including all citrus, cruciferous vegetables... it’s making it really hard to find anything I can eat at all and everything has to be cooked at home from scratch. I’m really getting worried about what the hell I’m supposed to eat this winter. So I’m trying to find anything at all I can eat. I had a bad allergy attack and found out I’m allergic to a bunch of stuff so I have to try new things one at a time very carefully.

Anyway, I can’t find anything butter-ish that isn’t full of soy and canola (related to cruciferous vegetables), so I guess I’m out of luck.
