Okay, obesity police.
I just made myself a sandwich with both butter and Miracle Whip. And I ate it. And liked it. And didn’t worry about whether it was healthy.
Whatcha gonna do about it?
Oh, snap!

Ooh, that sounds tasty. This was toast that failed when I realized I had no jelly. So I made an egg sandwich instead. ^_^
I had a butter, sugar, and honey sandwich the other day. Those bring back memories!

Heehee. I just keep imagining that by “have its revenge on you” the miracle whip actually turns into a whip (like a cat-o-nine tails) in your stomach and starts whipping that poor bit of butter until it becomes deviled cream or something and begins gnawing on things at random while the Miracle Whip shouts out “Faster! Faster!” May-haps I need some more sleeps for my brain

I love Miracle Whip, though I am usually one to prefer mustard to mayo. Maybe no one has told the ‘police officer’ above, but REGULAR, not ‘light’ Miracle Whip, only has 35 calories per tablespoon…not that it matters, but I have always found it amusing that it is the spread with which I was raised & which I have always preferred, as an unrepentant fatty, & it has 1/3 the calories of regular mayo or butter. (I love butter, too, REAL butter, it is what I use, though I don’t use them together.) All things considered, I am afraid that Miracle Whip would have quite a job getting ‘revenge’ on anything….&, just for the record, my grandmother ate ‘like that’, including eating anything chocolate she could get her hands on & putting 4 teaspoons of sugar in a cup of coffee, & she lived to be 90. I guess revenge is sometimes a dish best eaten VERY cold.
Keep on making & enjoying your sandwiches & thumb your nose at the idiots.

Reminds me a bit of that Katy Perry song. I kissed a snack and I ate it……

Attention “Officer Shred”
20 benefits of butter, from Body Ecology:
1. Butter is rich in the most easily absorbable form of Vitamin A necessary for thyroid and adrenal health.
2. Contains lauric acid, important in treating fungal infections and candida.
3. Contains lecithin, essential for cholesterol metabolism.
4. Contains anti-oxidants that protect against free radical damage.
5. Has anti-oxidants that protect against weakening arteries.
6. Is a great source of Vitamins E and K.
7. Is a very rich source of the vital mineral selenium.
8. Saturated fats in butter have strong anti-tumor and anti-cancer properties.
9. Butter contains conjugated linoleic acid, which is a potent anti-cancer agent, muscle builder, and immunity booster
10. Vitamin D found in butter is essential to absorption of calcium.
11. Protects against tooth decay.
12. Is your only source of an anti-stiffness factor, which protects against calcification of the joints.
13. Anti-stiffness factor in butter also prevents hardening of the arteries, cataracts, and calcification of the pineal gland.
14. Is a source of Activator X, which helps your body absorb minerals.
15. Is a source of iodine in highly absorbable form.
16. May promote fertility in women.9
17. Is a source of quick energy, and is not stored in our bodies adipose tissue. (What were you saying about “revenge?”)
18. Cholesterol found in butterfat is essential to children’s brain and nervous system development.
19. Contains Arachidonic Acid (AA) which plays a role in brain function and is a vital component of cell membranes.
20. Protects against gastrointestinal infections in the very young or the elderly.
Calorie and fat wise, Miracle Whip is not that significant. Nice try though.

Right on!
I switched back to butter from margarine a few months ago, and haven’t had second thoughts at all. Sarah’s list of butter benefits just reinforces for me that butter really is better.
I’m finally getting around to reading Health at Every Size, and your post made me think of what the author says right in the beginning about how our body will tell us what it wants if we only learn to pay attention to it.
