MSN had a series of the most consumed foods in the US. #1 is wheat
flour. If interested, you can scroll through to see the rest. We eat
more margarine than butter. Corn is #28

U.S. annual consumption: 98 lb. per capita (1.89 lb. per week)
- Child annual consumption: 93.5 lb.
- Adult annual consumption: 99.8 lb.
- Low-income annual consumption: 89.2 lb. (9% below U.S. average)
- High-income annual consumption: 103.6 lb. (6% above U.S. average)

All-purpose flour is one of the most popular types of flour in the
United States because of its accessibility and low price. While
all-purpose is made using a combination of both hard and soft wheats
(and can be either bleached or unbleached, chemically or naturally),
there are also more fiber-rich types of flour, such as whole wheat flour
available. The National School Lunch Program run by the USDA will
require that half of weekly grains allowed for school lunches be rich in
whole grains, beginning in mid-2019.

Gotta love these opinion poll type things about what Americans eat. The
last time I bought margarine was probably around 1982.

I guess they'll have to change the poll result then.

Gotta love these opinion poll type things about what Americans eat.  The

I buy a tub of Becel about once a year and use it for baking. I have a
couple recipes for cookies and for date squares that actually call for
margarine. We go through about a half pound of butter per week.

I have to confess that I have made grilled cheese with butter and with
margarine and I prefer them with margarine... or olive oil.

Becel now makes it in brick form for baking.

That was probably the year your Majesty gave up on lubricants I guess.

My B-I-L's physician recommended a particular type of Becel to lower
his cholesterol. It used to be sold here but it's expensive and
didn't last long before the SMs stopped stocking it.

Is that the same thing as a product known as Benecol? My mother's
doctor recommended that for her cholesterol, not that she ever used much
actual butter. We were raised with margarine. The only time we had
butter was on holidays.

It can't be right because the Dutch Master says Americans mostly eat corn.

I have never bought margarine. Even when I was in grade school I would
have toast dry if there was no butter, which was almost always the case
at home. At restaurants I'd pig out on butter.

The last time I bought margarine was for basting the outside of a
whole roast pig. The stuffing in the cavity use butter.
