anyone know of buttery spreads sans palm oil?
The World's Largest Collection of Vegetarian Recipes
That made me want to google and try to find something without palm oil, when I stumbled upon this:

And I haven't read the whole thing yet, so don't kill me if it isn't all that great. I'll edit accordingly.
eta: best suggestion on that blog is coconut oil (which one poster links to an article on at: http://lagustasluscious.com/coconut.html, scroll down)
It seems like Hopfrog may have mentioned this some time ago? I have been trying to avoid Earth Balance, instead opting for oils (or going fat free) wherever possible.
I was not aware of this, but I don't use EB much, or any buttery spread really, which is nice. I know PPC bakes and cooks a lot, though, and I don't very much. I can usually sub stuff out, or the things I do make don't call for EB.
yeah i really only use it for baking.. i use other oils for regular cooking. damn eb for being so buttery tasting!
Whoa....that sucks....Is nothing safe and cruelty-free and worthy of enjoyment? :-[
That's awful =(
I only use EB on mashed potatoes, since it's high in fat anyway, but looks like I should find something else to put on them. Although it appears that the biggest problem is people wanting palm oil as a fuel, not necessarily the amount that has been produced for food. Why are people so greedy?
how sad!

Roasted garlic and unsweetened non-dairy milk. ;)b
I need to keep both you and PPC in my pocket for quick reference. You are both so knowledgeable.

I have one! It's PPC via text messaging. Not quite the real thing, but as close as I'll get.

That might get messy in my pocket and you might eat pocket lint accidentally. Can I feed it to you in pieces, in some sort of wrapper?
this is suddenly a very bizarre thread & picture in my imagination. i like it.
haha sure i suppose you can do that..
(and yes this thread turned very odd)
ack! thanks mdv! i shoulda knows she would do something like that and then keep the monte cristo for herself...
tsk tsk meggs..
Lol. AC made it up, I swear. I cooked and she made it into something ugly!
No more cooking for me! Back to pre-packaged, pre-made meals! Those didn't get me in ANY trouble!
Monte cristos... I'm buying! :-*
