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.
