    If you think about it, low fat spreads typically contain 40% water. The whole point of butter or margarine is to lubricate the eating of bread. 40% water means you need to double up on the amount of spread to have the same affect.

    The chemistry involved in binding water to oil will carry on inside your body and blood, thus clogging your arteries. It is doubly bad for the body but is great for the supermarket profits in selling you water.

      Fish margarine

      Incidentally, has any of you well-travelled individuals ever encountered any such as thing as fish margarine or fish butter? No, it's not fish paste, it's supposed to be margarine made of fish oil, which I think it should 'be good for you' and should be found in Scandinavia? I looked for it in Germany and the Netherlands but nix there...

      By the way I think the original margarine in Canada was made of fish and whale oil:

      <Insert idea here> will never be adopted because the politicians are in the pockets of the banks!
