I'm sure many of you have seen a new product called 'plant butter'.

It's a fancy new name for margarine. (The margarine that uses no lard.) It is just marketing.

    The article said it is not as healthy to eat as other margarines. I prefer real butter.

    I just saw it at Publix the other day.  Another one trying to capitalize on the population's incessant need to stand out and be different and so often by having allergies or supersensitivities to products that we have been eating for a few hundred years. 

    Throw up.  I'll not be buying plant butter, or plant milk.  I still haven't tried "spread" whatever the hell that is. This post was edited by Thriftymaid at December 29, 2019 8:39 AM MST

    Spread comes in a tub instead of a stick and is soft enough to spread on something like a piece of bread.

    My point is that I eat butter made from cow's milk....not margarine, not spread, and certainly not plant butter (which sounds like nothing more than margarine).

    If it doesn't have lard and no dairy, it is missing all of the dangerous elements of margarine.

    Now all they have to add is some correct texture and flavor.  I do not like fake dairy.  

    If I need butter, I use butter, but I don't need nearly as much now.  I eat a lot of olive oil or plant or nut-based oils.  

    Since I did not care for how the original Country Crock was made, I'm sure they did a lot of no-no's here too.
