***I long ago stopped buying into the nonsense about butter and eggs being "bad"for us. Everything in moderation...and you can't go wrong. I use Kellers UNsalted butter when I use butter at all...otherwise I rely on Colavita's Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Stoneyfield Farms website has a great newsletter. They just listed all the companies that feed thier livestock HGH to keep the animals producing. I knew Land o Lakes did it but was surprised at some of the other names that came up. Anyhow, this is for those of us who can assimilate butter, dairy. I understand what you are saying Terri...that you cannot. I will keep my eyes open from now on and if I come across any other data on a good Olive Oil Spread I will keep you in mind. V.

I know there is lady in my neck of the woods (Vegas) who sells fresh real butter, milk, goat milk , yogurt etc from her organic farm with healthy, well fed animals.

Just use butter with respect. < First off, I must point out that many folks, including me, cannot handle butter, whether because of milk allergies or, as in my case, because I cannot efficiently metabolize milk fat. My own diet is a low-fat diet simply because more than a small amount of fats and oils affect me quite negatively. This includes olive and coconut oils. Secondly, if you are going to ingest butter, commercial butter is pure poison. We all know that commercial cows are routinely fed/injected with steroids and antibiotics to make them produce milk at an earlier age and to increase their milk production. Then, of course, they are fed diets of various animal parts too disgusting to mention, denied sunshine, green grass, fresh water and exercise, and the resulting unhealthy animal produces equally unhealthy milk. This milk is then concentrated into commercial butter. The levels of steroids/antibiotics/pathogens/diseases found in commercial butter makes regular milk seem healthy. If I could eat butter, I would avoid commercial butter like the (literally) plague. In my search for an alternative such as a healthy, non-hydrogenated margarine, I have been unable to find anything that is not made with rape seed oil (you know, canola oil). I would pay a pretty penny and order from far away if I could find a non-hydrogenated margarine made from virgin olive oil. Does anyone know of such a thing?
