Mother's margerine has a good flavor... very similar to salted butter.. I
also use Shedd's Willow Run Soybean margerine.. also excellent taste.. these
however are hydronated they cook well though... Soy Garden is found at Whole
foods and Trader Joe's that is non-hydrogenated.. my kids love it.. I don't
think it has enough taste.. but then again.. I know what real butter tastes
like and they don't Soy Garden cooks very well also. :)

Okay, I am very new at this.  I believe that margarins and anything with

hydrogenated oils are very bad for everyone.  Our body doesn't know how to

handle the hydrogenated oils and so therefore they are one of the main

contributing factors to clogged arteries.  So...given that I was wondering

if anyone had any ideas for a butter substitute that is not hydrogenated.

I was trying to think of what applications I would use butter for and

actually I think I can almost eliminate it entirely except I think I am

also thinking a little overboard.  I need a reality check sometimes.  So is

there anything?  I also wanted to point out that oils used for cooking

aren't so good either.  Better to do steaming and poaching of things.  Oils

should only be added for flavor after the cooking process.  So what do we

do about cooking eggs?  I guess we have to break our own rules for sanity's

sake.  I must sound really crazy.  I am so sorry, like I said I am new and

this and so much that I am learning is so contrary to how I used to doing

things.  I hear applesauce in place of butter in baking is okay.
