I love coconut oil. It's one of the main "good oils" noted on the freaky natural health nut e-lists I am on (following the trations of Weston Price). HeHe! I keep trying to keep oleo from coming into our house, but my husband says his no-bake cookies don't set right with anything but margarine. LOL!!
I was always led to believe that it was bad (cholesterol hell).
I only use it for popcorn, and just for the flavor. I use sunflower oil (love it) and olive oil for everything else.
Margarine is only one molecule short of *plastic*!
Iowa had it right, years ago. Margarine had to be sold naturally, with no artificial colors. They would provide little yellow dye packets w/ the axle grease to mix and make it look halfway presentable. Yuck yuck yuck...
