    Well, I imagine you won't be eating many scones, cakes or biscuits, in that case, whether made with butter OR marge, which is what the OP was asking about.

    I imagine s/he is eating as many as they wish. as long as made with butter and not marge :)

    I too have moved back to butter, whole milk and full fat yoghurt. No ive not gained any extra weight and nor has my cholestrol risen so win win for me :)

    I've never liked butter, i use Vitalite or perhaps Asda olive oil spread on my butties and for making bread 'Asda best for baking' in a block. Not very often i make cakes, but probably which is nearest to hand.

    I think people are misreading? I think, given OP is talking about being given LURPAK, which is butter, they're proposing to use butter rather than marge?
