Bull. The decision to open your mouth and stuff something in it makes you eat more, soon.
I'm sorry, but no, it's not that simple. Do you even know what makes you hungry? Lots of hormons are involved. Yes, of course you have to eat, but WHY do people eat more then they need, and why do some people, sometimes, eat way more than their bodies need. Well, it has to do with hormons. Insuline lowers the bloodsugar and makes you hungry again. Ghrelin makes you hungry and Leptin makes you full. Please don't take the discussion to this level.
As I said before, if you eat when you are hungry, and stop eating when you are full and don't eat out of emotional reasons and because you are bored, most persons can eat whatever they like. Everything beyond eating when you are hungry and stopping when you are full is in your mind, and can be controlled with some will. For some it is harder than for others to control their motions, but it is that simple. Of course there are a lot of thinsg going on in your body due to hormons etc, but that is like an alcoholics excuse to keep drinking.

I'm talking about quantity, not kinds of food.

And I am saying that the kind of food you eat makes a big difference. If you eat too much carbs, you WILL eat a lot more.

And alcoholics CHOOSE to drink and could easily stop? Just as easily as you and me can choose not to drink? I'm sorry, but this is just ridiciolus. The piont is that if you eat different, it want take so much will power not to eat to much. But silly me, all the overweight/obese people simply CHOOSE to be that way, it just seem so much fun...

I second this. It's what I keep around for a spreadable butter these days. It's just great.

How funny! I was just going to second it myself. My husband, who refuses to eat anything besides Bregott here, used Land O Lakes all the time when we were living in the States.

If that is the case for you, good for you. All I say is it depends on the amount of food you choose to stuff in your mouth that makes you fat or not fat (unless you have a medical metabolism condition which is another story).
Bregott is really good, isn't it? When living stateside we use Brummel & Brown, which is a lot lower in fat than Bregott, and I'm sure not as tasty in a side-by-side comparison. Somehow it doesn't bother us, though -- I think the real reason is that grocery store bread (at least that which is readily available to us) in the US isn't nearly as good as Swedish bread, and thus we're not eating nearly as many sandwiches.

I've never understood the love for Bregott - I think it's way too hard, and just yucky. When I'm in Sweden, I use Lätta.
The only thing I use in the US is Brummel & Brown, and even my sister who's a Bregott junkie likes it when she's here.

Don't believe in margarine and have not used it for at least fifty years, only real butter. Cold butter is very easy to slice with a cheese slicer.
(1) I have a butter pot, which JanBalk mentioned. It's quite nice to be able to spread real butter on things.
(2) I think part of swede's point is not that butter is incredibly healthy for you and you should eat tons of it every day, but that it is healthier than margarine, which is basically a chemical cocktail (I like to refer to it as "I Can't Believe It's Not Petroleum"). I happen to agree with that, which is why I keep butter in a butter pot.
Best regards,

This butter issue is a big bone of contention in my house.
I would prefer to go to real butter, but the Swede is always hollering about spreadability so we end up with margarine. We tried a butter bell and maybe we will again, but the butter kept falling in the water and got funky. Shame too cause we can get extremely fresh real butter quite easily in this state.
I believe that if you eat real you eat less. It only takes a smidge of butter to make something taste good compared to the lashings of marg. _________________ Hang on tightly, let go lightly

Amhilde - really check out the land-o-lakes spreadable stuff. It's not margarine, it's butter blended with olive oil (that's it) and is very soft and spreadable when kept in the fridge.
it's everywhere here in MN, so I'd imagine it is in WI too. Might be a good compromise.

Why can't everybody get what they want, why does everything have to be a negotiation or compromise? Gosh, if I wanted butter but my husband did not, we would get a bigger fridge if the one we have would not be capable of storing a small container of each.

Exactly!
In our house we use different spreads, hubby uses stick butter, and I use Brummel & Brown.
Is it REALLY that hard to use two different ones??

I didn't read everyone's posts so perhaps it was already suggested but Land o Lakes makes a nice spreadable butter.

I entirely agree with this. I think a leading cause of obesity is all of the unnatural, artificial, processed, chemically produced and infused food we eat. I stick to real butter and as someone mentioned, you use less because it is more satiating to the palette. I eat real eggs (no egg beaters), real sugar (no artifical sweeteners), no store-bought cookies (bake my own), no diet sodas (don't really drink it, but if I get a craving I go for the real deal), no white fluffy bread that lasts 3 weeks and real butter (no margarine).
Just an example...I remember once in college eating a whole box of "fat-free" cookies because I just couldn't get satisfied. Whereas now, when I bake my own with real, pure ingredients, I will have 1 or 2 and be completely happy.
I think unless you have a major cholesterol issue, go with what nature-intended. Go real!
Back to the topic, we only use Land o' Lakes spreadable butter when we are in the US.
