I want to buy this brand.
Not sure who needs to hear this in a shitpost, but the Kübler-Ross "5 stages of grief" is pretty much discredited.
It's historically significant because Kübler-Ross was the first one to really investigate and publicize the psychology of dying. We wouldn't know what we do now without her. But one of the things we know is that the 5-stages model is wrong.
So how do we grieve?
Bacon, ice cream, drugs.
I really want someone to sell legit butter but marketed as 'I can't believe it's not margarine!'
And I want to make a sparkling wine and market it as The Beer Of Champagnes.
Fun fact, the 5 stages was developed as a general pattern for people with terminal illnesses coming to terms with their own death, not for people grieving the death of those close to them.
That's true, but it became clear that others would experience similar emotions.
Also according to the Wikipedia, the author regretted writing them in a way that suggested they're a linear progression of steps. I've only actually heard the steps used as a sitcom plot point (Monk, Scrubs).
Also, grief doesn't happen in stages. Someone can have accepted something one day and are then upset over it the next. They haven't gone backwards, that's just how grief works.
If you go to Omega Mart in Area 15, they have some products on the shelf that say "who told you this was butter?"
This is in Las Vegas, of anyone needed further contact
You forgot stage 6: joy
"It's not butter, but I don't even like butter!"
* Stages of grease FTFY
I know it's a meme, but I do honestly prefer I Can't Believe It's Not Butter over most real butters (nothing beats Kerrygold) and other margarines.
It tastes and feels enough like butter to me to work well on bread and such and it doesn't have the strong smelling milk proteins.
I tell you, after trying every single one of these brands it all feels the same when you stick your dick in them.
I can't remember the one I saw that was the worst, it was like "you're gonna wish you bought butter" or "you'd hope for butter, but you'd be wrong"
Haha! You were laboring under the misapprehension that this is "butter"!
Ok, but here me out: Margarine is superior
I like becel
taste-wise butter is like, slightly better? but the price is so hilariously not fucking worth it in the least.
Plus, you can get margarine with added omega 3! As someone who fucking hates fish, that's pretty nice.
"Yeah! Margarine doesn't have cholesterol!", said the mess manager while pocketing the savings.
Seed oils are disgusting. I'll stick with butter
Isn't margarine more fucked up than butter nutritionally and healthiness wise, or am I misinformed?
maybe maybe not, but for sure it's not the thing you should be worrying about, what you should be worrying about is eating less in general, eating more vegetables, eating less carbs, and getting more exercise.
Didn't they ban sale of margarine? Or was that margarine with trans fat and now they make it with seed oil?
Essentially trans fats allowed the margarine to have a better texture and be more melt in your mouth not on the table. They replaced them with a higher proportion of saturated fats to get the same result. Since it's a mixed oil emulsion, there's little appreciable difference in the texture of the product. Twinkies were not so lucky.
When you are happy about a repost of an old meme, because at least it was good, it tells a lot about the state of the Lemmy meme scene....

Unsalted margarine. Gross. Just drink canola oil straight out of the jug if your life has come to that.
We consume too much salt, which has detrimental effects. Try it a few weeks with less (not necessarily none, you need at least some) salt. You may observe that you start experiencing more interesting tastes and won't need salt as much.
I'm not saying we shouldn't cut out salt, but eating unsalted butter or margarine isn't where to cut back. That's for baking. If you want to cut back on salt, take the shaker off the table.
We don't eat salted butter or margarine in Europe. And we're still just fine. You're just used to salt so you can't imagine not having it. It's the same with sugar in tea. It's hard to stop putting it in, but once you're over the adjustment period, you don't feel like you want to go back. Sweetened drinks in general just taste like sugar to me now. I suppose they same might be true for oversalted food.
100% agree. Stop eating Maruchan ramen, ask for no salt on your fries. There’s lots of ways to reduce salt. Unsalted butter/margarine on your food has got to the stupidest way to cut down on your salt intake.
ask for no salt on your fries
Even better, don't ask for fries.
Go buy some beans and maybe watch a YouTube video on how to cook them tasty, instead of the videos that tell you to eat raw leaves with oil on top and call it a "salad" with "dressing". Then cook the beans and eat them, instead of ordering fast-food while watching the video of another chap, cooking food and eating it.
Beans are delicious. Potatoes/fries are also delicious. They are in no way comparable forms of deliciousness.
That would be like trying to replace my love of alpine skiing with gothic literature.
Margarine is fucking gross.
it's just solid canola oil and water lmao, do you just eat spoonfuls of it on its own? i mean i guess butter would be better to consume like that but not by much..
If you don't think you taste the difference even just on toast, then you should get your tastebuds checked.
