Does anyone know of a good butter substite for eating & baking

[cliffside]

21. You're welcome ...

it is not just butter though, meat, dairy, cheese etc. I'm not too bothered by the price of eggs, maybe half a dozen in a month. We need to change our thinking and palates, it is really hard though. It is difficult to get used to doing without, easy to fall back into 'bad' habits. Love butter too, I was really good during covid and I saw the difference. Keep moving, walking etc and make some adjustments slowly, you'll see the benefits. Good discussion!
The only thing I agree with RFK is that we are an unhealthy society. I joined DU back in 2004, then they had a major hack, but someone back then posted a link to a documentary called the Century of the Self. A little old, but the theme was selling products to the masses. I'm old enough to remember the introduction of TV dinners, probably loaded with junk, but as a kid I/we were sold on the idea ... and parents who did like to cook.
We've moved so far since then with social media, another product to sell. Great for staying connected with family and friends but we know there is downside.

Reading the summary I need to watch again

"Along these lines, The Century of the Self asks deeper questions about the roots and methods of consumerism and commodification and their implications. It also questions the modern way people see themselves, the attitudes to fashion, and superficiality.

The business and political worlds use psychological techniques to read, create and fulfill the desires of the public, and to make their products and speeches as pleasing as possible to consumers and voters. Curtis questions the intentions and origins of this relatively new approach to engaging the public.

Where once the political process was about engaging people's rational, conscious minds, as well as facilitating their needs as a group, Stuart Ewen, a historian of public relations, argues that politicians now appeal to primitive impulses that have little bearing on issues outside the narrow self-interests of a consumer society...."
