We live in Europe, where the tradition of using butter is very strong and the supermarket shelves have more selection of butter than margarine and I was lucky enough to be brought up solely on butter and (oops) lard. But at least it was from our own pig and probably still better than the nasty yellow oils. Anyhow my kids are at preschool and I was assured by the teacher that they only use butter on their bread/baguettes at breakfasts and for snacks and this morning I caught them spreading margarine. I am so furious!! Apparently they don't have time to wait for butter to soften. To top it off the director said..."mmm, we don't use margarines at home either, but it just takes so long when we need to butter so many slices of bread..." Anyhow I gifted them with a butter dish and butter and told them only to use butter from now on and that I'll be checking on them. Quick, hide the margarine, the nazi mum is coming! lol They must think I'm completely nuts, because I let my kids eat loads of sugary gummy bears and frown upon soya and cous cous.
