Do you resent those people who send you mail asking you to "Foward this to 10 friends?"
I just replied to a lifelong friends mail today. I've edited personal info. I think my reply was classic enough.....

Thanks for this one Diane!
LOL!   (now for some of my dry humour!)
I have just spent an hour editing all the crap out of this, including 10,000 bullets.
This is now a nice readable article and quite interesting!
Will you please forward this to ten of your friends that sent you this.

Margarine  was originally manufactured
to fatten  turkeys.  When it killed the turkeys,
the people who had put  all the money into the research
wanted a payback so they put their  heads together to
figure out what to do with this product to get  their
money back.
It was a white substance with no food appeal  so they
added the yellow colouring and sold it to people to use in
place of butter.  How do you like it?   They have
come out  with some clever new flavourings.... 
  DO  YOU  KNOW.. The  difference between margarine and butter?
Both  have the  same amount of  calories.
Butter  is slightly higher  in saturated  fats at 8   grams; compared
to 5 grams for  margarine.
Eating margarine can increase  heart  disease in  women
by  53%  over   eating the same amount of butter, according to a
recent  Harvard  Medical  Study.
Eating butter increases  the absorption of  many other
nutrients in  other  foods.
Butter  has  many nutritional  benefits where margarine has
a few  and  only  because  they  are  added!
  Butter  tastes  much better than
margarine and it can enhance the flavours of  other  foods.
  Butter  has  been around  for centuries where margarine has
been around for less  than 100  years..
And now, for  Margarine.. Very High in  Trans fatty  acids.
Triples risk of  coronary heart  disease ....
  Increases  total  cholesterol and LDL (this
is the bad cholesterol) and  lowers HDL cholesterol,
(the good  cholesterol)
Increases  the risk of  cancers up to five  times..
Lowers  quality  of breast  milk.
Decreases immune  response.
Decreases   insulin response
And  here's the most  disturbing fact.... HERE IS THE PART THAT  IS
VERY  INTERESTING!
Margarine  is  but ONE  MOLECULE away  from  being PLASTIC... and
shares 27 ingredients  with PAINT
Tthe facts alone were enough  to have me avoiding margarine for life  and anything
else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is
  added,  changing the molecular structure of the  substance). 
You  can try this  yourself:
  Purchase  a tub of  margarine and leave it open in your garage or shaded
  area.  Within a couple of days you will notice a  couple of  things,:
  no flies, not  even those pesky fruit flies will go near it  (that
should tell you  something)
  *  it does not rot  or smell differently because it  has  no  nutritional value ;
nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weeny   microorganisms will not a find a home to grow.
  Why?   Because  it is  nearly plastic .
  Would you melt your Tupperware and  spread that   on your toast?

I never forward those e-mails. Never use margarine either. Only very little butter on my toast.

There's nothing quite like Real Butter on Toast!... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

...but in the interests of avoiding furred-up Arteries, high Blood Pressure, and Heart attacks,

Soon after I got back in touch with a high school buddy, it became evident he had a lot of time on his hands.  I blocked him after he started that crap.  Don't we have something better to do, like watching paint dry?

Oh yeah, the sub-topic here, well, long ago I stopped eating anything that would grease up my insides.     I do miss real butter tho.

Margarine/butter/spreads are only used by me for one reason... as a waterproof barrier between my bread and sandwich fillings (usually containing tomato) to stop it going soggy.
It has it's uses.
