unsalted butter and margarine without canola oil (rapeseed) would be about the best of both.

I have Vitalite for spreading & cooking, but principally because it's lactose-free (my 3yo is intolerant*).

How does Vitalite measure up otherwise on the healthy-scale, someone?

Poppycock! Both will cause you to become deader than a door nail. I do no ingest either, however a stick of frozen butter works great on my hemorrhoids.

Butter. Salted. Simply because it tastes the best.

But anyone stupid enough to eat it in such quantities that it causes health problems deserves them.

you are all wrong ( as usual..slap yourselves ...) the answer is oleo...know what oleo is ?

n 1869 Emperor Louis Napoleon III of France offered a prize to anyone who could make a satisfactory substitute for butter, suitable for use by the armed forces and the lower classes.[1] French chemist Hippolyte Mège-Mouriés invented a substance he called oleomargarine, the name of which became shortened to the trade name "Margarine". Margarine now refers generically to any of a range of broadly similar edible oils. The name oleomargarine is sometimes abbrieviated to oleo.
