Butter- yes or no?

Butter is a touchy subject for people.  Most of us were brought up on margarine which we were told was better for us.  So whats the truth?

Butter and Margarine have the same 100 calories per tablespoon
Margarine has 5g of saturated fat but butter only has 8g

Butter comes from cream which comes from cows
Margarine comes from a factory and some of the ingredients from a very well know brown tub of margarine are as follows:

veggie-oil blend
veggie mono & diglycerides
soy lecithin
artificial flavors
vitamin A
beta carotene (for color)

How is it made?

Butter is made from cream being whipped or churned until the solids seperate.  Then salt is added.

Margarine is made from cheap, poor quality oils such as corn, cottonseed, soybean, safflower and canola. Which is hydrogenated.  Take a minute to see the disgusting process here: lhttp://www.stop-trans-fat.com/how-is-margarine-made.html
