old guy spread

[thoreau]

I used to give my ex, John in Idaho (the good ex), loads of shit about using Smart Balance instead of butter. I called it old guy spread - even calling it that on the weekly shopping list. Imagine how I felt this morning when I realized in my new health regimen - what have I been spreading on my toast for about six months? Old guy spread.

What is in it?!! Is it FOOD?

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

it is a "patented blend of vegetable oils" - so I guess it is - food. its congealed vegetable oil. so it's like spreading soybean oil and olive oil on your toast.

[nudewoody.livejournal.com]

well, at least it's patented . . .

LOL

(you are on a role with these thought provoking posts btw. your latest on Isensee is great. I hope you are saving these 'reflections during "education" posts'

Have you tried Fleischman's Olive Oil Spread? Buttery good.

[bootedintexas.livejournal.com]

i really like it Fleishman's.....i use it exclusively.

[ursaloco2.livejournal.com]

Me too.
Well, in terms of not using any other spreads. A boy's still gotta have some butter sometimes. :-0)

So....

Well the Mooove Over Butter is my "old guy's spread" but admittedly, there's really no substitute for good old fashioned butter.

I notice it falls short of saying you won't ever die if you eat Old Guy Spread^TM. Just barely.

sigh... I'm doomed to death... the frige is well stocked with Land O' Lakes salted and unsalted sweet cream butter...

Keep eating butter and you'll die. Stop eating butter and you'll die. Eat congealed fat spreads and you might die somewhere in there too. But maybe not! There's always a chance this will make you immortal!

How does Paula Dean stay alive? It's been rumored that the woman would put butter on an asprin.

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

my favorite Paula Dean story - she was at a live show - and a audience member asked if she'd ever thought of putting out a "low fat" or "healthy" version of her cookbook. and Paula - without missing a beat said "Honey, I'm your Chef not your Personal Trainer. If you like to eat - you need to like exercise."

I may not like Ms Dean's "Y'all Come Back Now, Hear?" style of delivery, but I can't argue her taste in men.

Her hubby's a major DaddyBear!

[bootedintexas.livejournal.com]

its not a rumor. if she was on discovery health it would be butter covered tylenol.

[budmassey.livejournal.com]

Without butter, a longer life would just be a sentence.

[bearchitect.livejournal.com]

been spreading it since 1,999...hence my supple complexion

[bootedintexas.livejournal.com]

it is really disturbing what GOOGLE finds when you try to find "www.oldguyspread.com"...some things however that decidedly ..NOT WORK SAFE.

[grizzlyzone.livejournal.com]

I use it. Oh, and BTW, they now have a version made with Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Try Smart Balance peanut butter, too!

[bearfuz.livejournal.com]

I've been using that stuff too. I actually like it. (I did discover the hard way, though, that I *don't* like the Smart Balance peanut butter. The salty fishy taste kind of overpowers the peanuts for me.)

One observation: I may be eating "old guy spread," but that hasn't stopped me from DEVELOPING 'old guy spread' this winter. If you know what I mean!

[broduke2000.livejournal.com]

I tried Smart Balance over at bikerbaer's house and it really did taste exactly like butter.

But the only way you'll get me to stop eating CHEEZEBURGERS! is when they pry them from my cold, dead hands.

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

oh - amen brother. Cheeseburgers rule! and as long as we're indulging? a big slabo' bacon on it too!!
