On Butter

I recently saw a list of things from a younger person regarding things that s/he thought were weird that older people liked and that younger people could not stand.

One of the things was margarine.  Now it occurred to me that the person making this list had his/her head up his/her posterior.  I will tell you why.

  • Age in not necessarily a factor in people choosing to use margarine if those people who do not use dairy products.
  • Age is not necessarily a factor in people choosing to use margarine for cholesterol reasons.
  • And the person has lived a relatively good existence.  I grew up in a large family and the price of butter was such that it was quite a treat.  Margarine was not the spread of choice, but it was the spread of necessity.
