    I did, I was not aware of this little piece of history.
    Maybe if they got rid of this [censored], they could pay dairy
    farmers decently and keep farms alive.

    Oleo or margarine should be banned anyway. Disgusting stuff.

    I don't buy or use anything but butter.

    I was raised in California and I remember a "special 1

    spread the dye evenly.

    It maybe disgusting to you but it is very helpful for people
    like me where it is not practical to use butter in cooking.
    Or can't have milk products.

    And I remember my kid brother in the wartime years,
    substituting blue food coloring for the orange dye button.
    We ended up with blue margarine and no one could cook with
    it, let alone spread it on bread. Food should not be blue!

    Margarine is full of trans-fats. That is neither useful
    nor healthy for anything but researching cancer and
    obesity in lab rats.

    Pass the butter, please! :-)

    Whatever. Transfat is the latest fanatacism for the American
    people. forum.lowcarber.orgt

    Soft margarine has less transfat and in anycase as long as
    you eat everything in moderation you will generally be
    healthy. I get the feeling that a lot of people are going to
    have heart attacks over worry about transfat now even though
    they never thought about it until now and have been healthy
    until now too.

    I am fairly healthy despite ignorantly eating trans fats
    most of my life. I am also 25. Problems will not surface for
    at least another 10-20 years.

    Also, there was very little research about the harmful
    effects of transfats until recently. It is not just a
    crusade low-carbers are on, even the traditional low-fat
    camp, including the FDA, says that trans-fats are bad.

    According to the FDA, trans-fats should be kept to an
    absolute minimum, if not completely removed from our diets.
    I think in 2005 the new regulations take effect requiring
    nutrition labels to break fats down into total, saturated,
    and trans. Companies using trans-fats are starting to go
    apeshit about removing them from their products, because
    nobody wants to look bad when the new labeling requirements
    take effect.

    I wish the FDA would make manufacturers break down protein
    and carbohydrates further too.

    As proof of what a loving and wonderful mom I am, I made
    a light green cake with light blue frosting for our
    middle son's third birthday (at his request). It was
    hideous, but it was a great cake, butter cake with
    blackberry filling, and a real vanilla buttercream
    frosting. Since he shares his birthday with his dad, we
    put two sections of candles on it, one that was 3 candles
    and one that was 33. We got to have a little science
    experiment and see how forest fires work with the draw
    from the fire. The section of frosting under Rich's
    candles was permanently bleached and melted.

    Ah, Ranee, you earn a LOT of Mom Points for making the cake
    he wanted!

    Two years ago my niece's birthday cake was covered with blue
    icing. I pooped blue for two days. It was not a pretty sight
    :-D. Purple cotton candy does the same thing to me, though
    the blue one is not so bad.

    LOL! Yes.

    We had an interesting blue "food" issue when our oldest
    started sucking all the blue ink out of a marker when we
    turned our backs. He was about 18 months, and the next
    few diapers were quite interesting. Took me a bit to
    realize what was wrong.
