***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.

Maybe Weston Price's website has a listing of organic farmers you can buy
real butter from. 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.

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?
