    I agree that it's not natural but it has less trans fats I'm pretty sure. I'm not an expert but I think it's similar to the regular Coke/Diet Coke argument. Diet Coke is less sugary and less fatty than regular coke but it also has some artificial chemicals that are worse for you than what's in regular coke. (I'm almost 100% positive about this, someone can correct me if I'm wrong...) Either way best thing is to be light on using butter anyway.

    I think I can't believe it's not butter tastes just as good though...maybe I'm crazy though haha.

    Butter is healthier than any margarine or oiled spread.

    Diet coke or any diet drink for that matter is not healthier at all. Aspartame the artificial sugar is bad news, 13 % methanol by weight which forms Formaldehyde when it drink it. if you want to get MS and eventually alzheimer's, drink it if not drink the full sugar version or better still drink water (filtered or distilled)

    insects won't eat margarine or aspartame as it kills them. fly's won't even eat margarine and the eat !!!!! lol

    Not true about MS and Alzheimers btw, and there is nothing wrong with tap water.

    I wouldn't say it is healthier in terms of saturated fat content, but at least it isn't plasticized.

    Everything in moderation.

    Lurpak is my favourite, but I now buy Lidl English butter for 98p and find it really tasty

    They do unsalted and salted butter and also a version that is not marked as English but cant remember the name. I find the one marked English is nicer tasting imo

    I buy President butter, nope not cheap but since we don't smoke and don't drink either now I figure 1.55 is affordable ;)

    Butter contains zero synthetic trans fats. Cows themselves have small amounts of trans fat in their fat. What it isn't is liquid fat made solid by having hydrogen pumped through it.

    I buy my butter from Lidl & it's 98p, it's the cheapest I've seen & tastes better than the others.

    Spotted today - a new low (or should that be 'high'?) in the butter price hike scam. A branch of Budgens with Anchor at nearly £1.80!

    ASDA. 250g. SmartPrice (salted) is 98p. Yet ASDA own brand (salted and unsalted) is £1.00. Odd.

    Recently my local Lidl had blocks of Anchor for £1. Needless to say I stocked up! Should have bought more and put in the freezer.

    Butter all the way- how anyone can ever think a processed, manufactured product like margarine is better for you, I don't know! Butter is a natural product, margarine is not. Both are designed to be eaten in moderation however. The same goes for any processed food stuff, natural is better.

    'Farmfoods' do a 454g block pure Irish creamery butter for £2, but if you buy 3 blocks you get 3 For £5. The brand name is 'Champion'. Good price.
