*nods* Yeah, I see your point. I just can't remember off hand if it's the canola thats worse, or the olive. I'm thinking though it's the canola, since that's what most restuarants, including fast food, uses in their fryers. Also, I think most recent findings do say butter is actualyl better for you than the margerine alts these days, now that folks know about transfats. It;s all the oil and addidive I think that make the margerine softer and easier to blend that does it. So, butter is the better option.

I used the Micky D's as an example, but yeah, any fast food is going to be TONS worse than anything you can cook at home. That, and even regular restuarants will over-butter and over-oil food to make it taste better. Even the 'lowfat' options have more in the way of not-so-good additives than you usually get at home.

Good point on the hormone thing.
