Is that a hunk of butter right in the middle of the plate?
i think i see a reflection of pick3 on the table next to the butter.
Why not ditch the potatoes and hunk of butter
and go with more steamed vegetables?

Right here is the meal of champions -- plus it's cheap if you buy the tuna right.

What Exactly is in Smart Balance?
Let’s take a look at the ingredients in Stupid, er – I mean, Smart Balance:
“Natural oil blend (soybean, palm fruit, canola, and olive oils), water, contains less than 2% of whey (from milk), salt, natural and artificial flavor, vegetable monoglycerides and sorbitan ester of fatty acids (emulsifiers), soy lecithin, vitamin A palmitate, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, Vitamin D, dl-a-tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E), lactic acid, beta carotene color, and potassium sorbate, and calcium disodium EDTA (to preserve freshness)”.
Shall we analyze this rather long list of ingestibles ?
The soybean and canola oils are almost certainly genetically modified. Frankenfood at its finest!
The olive oil isn’t even extra virgin olive oil. Can we say cheap, cheap, CHEAP?
Natural and artificial flavor – this must be where that “buttery taste you crave” part comes in. Excellent stuff if you dig tricking your taste buds (newsflash, you won’t trick your tummy though. At least not for long. You’ll be craving that “buttery taste” soon after and more than likely sticking your head in a big bowl of ice cream by 9pm).
Soy lecithin – yet another genetically modified ingredient.
Vitamin A palmitate – the synthetic form of vitamin A. Since there’s not much natural about Smart Balance in the first place, “fortification” with synthetic vitamins seems logical!
Vitamin D – the label doesn’t even specify what type, but I can pretty much guarantee it’s synthetic D2. Is this the wondrous vitamin D everyone – even Oprah is raving about lately? Brilliant marketing and wishful thinking doesn’t make it so.
Beta carotene color – the normal color for factory produced margarine like Smart Balance is a very unappetizing grey, so color is definitely needed here to fool the masses.
Potassium sorbate – a supposedly safe food preservative that inhibits microbial growth. Safe at least until they find it isn’t. Three cheers for being a guinea pig!
Calcium disodium EDTA – an organic pollutant which breaks down in the environment into ethylenediamine triacetic acid and then diketopiperazine. Diketopiperazine is a persistent organic pollutant, similar to PCBs and DDT. Not only does Smart Balance pollute the bodies of those who eat it, it pollutes the environment too!

Butter is Always Best!
Nothing manufactured in a factory can ever beat the simple, natural, whole nutrition of plain BUTTER. No genetically modified, artificial flavors or organic pollutant preservatives needed. Loads of natural vitamin A, D, and E that really will boost your immune system unlike the synthetic versions in margarine spreads like Smart Balance.
Most importantly, butterfat is far superior to the rancid, highly processed vegetable oils in Smart Balance. While not hydrogenated, the edible oil processing , called interesterification, is still very much denaturing and is arguably worse for cardiovascular health than transfats.
On the other hand, butter, particularly grassfed butter, is one of the richest sources of vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 is the magical X Factor written about by Dr. Weston A. Price which is known to prevent arterial calcification which is a very strong (if not the strongest) predictor of cardiovascular disease risk, NOT cholesterol levels.
Folks with low cholesterol suffer from heart disease at the same rate as those with high cholesterol. Don’t tell that to the folks in the marketing department at Smart Balance, though. They’re doing really well with that catchy marketing slogan that associates use of Smart Balance with “healthy” cholesterol levels.
Once you get past the marketing hype, it sure seems that the more appropriate name for Smart Balance would be “Stupid Balance”, don’t you think?

[redsam]butt only if teh butter is a product of cows than were fed all natural grass and lulled to sleep nightly via Brahm's cello compositions and packaged by PhD Monsanto engineers in "green" containers[/redsam]
^^^ There's top secret research papers written by MIT professors about it too!
VERY low sodium FTW!
Oh to hell and back with that.
My wife tries to buy low sodium shit and I stack it up in the back of the pantry.
Know that meal of champions I posted before? On some days I salt the entire mess before I eat it.

Why not ditch the potatoes and hunk of butter and go with more steamed vegetables?
You could turn that dish into something super-clean and not give up taste. And if you need more flavor, go with Frank's Red Hot Sauce. I put that shit on everything!
Why do you have a paper plate on top of a regular plate?
proud of you smurf, and don't let chris feed that shit to you kids, mkay
