I always wondered who actually eats unsalted butter, but you all do exist!!

Salted butter is better because you get more bang for the same price. Butter PLUS salt!

Do you prefer the taste, or just sodium conscious? I’m curious! I’d be so sad without salted butter

I like un-uniformed seasoning, like a pretzel with chunks of salt rather than salted dough.
As far as cooking goes, salted butter melts/reacts differently (or it seems).
I don’t mind it, but prefer unsalted.

Salted or unsalted. Whatever I have handy. NEVER margarine! That crap will kill you.

I ‘heard’ that a lot of ‘sweet’ recipes call for unsalted

Sodium conscious. Nothing I like more than salted butter on warm toast! Mmmmmm
Yeah I watch my sodium too… but you’ll never take away my salted butter!! 
I break the rules and always use salted!

Haha, I do like salted butter. Just gotta be careful. I tend to buy both.

I also ‘heard’ that even cockroaches won’t touch margarine… so yeah, I stopped using it. Quite liked the taste though.

Poor margarine definitely gets a bad name… It is somewhat more processed, but the old myth of “it’s one molecule from plastic” is so far from true. Even if it were true (which it’s not), water (H20) is one molecule from hydrogen peroxide (H202) and we drink water but not H202, well, because it could kill us or make us very sick. So the “one molecule” comparison is moot.
Margarine has come a long way from the stuff I grew up on, that was hydrogenated. These are ingredients for Becel, a popular non-hydrogenated margarine:
Canola and sunflower oils 74%, water, modified palm and palm kernel oils 6%, salt, buttermilk powder 1% (milk), natural flavours, lactic acid, vitamin A palmitate (vitamin A), vitamin D3, natural colour, soy lecithin, calcium disodium EDTA.
While to some of us these may be less desirable ingredients, none of these things are “toxic”… is it more processed? Yes. Also more omega-6 which we get a ton of in our diet already… but it can still fit into a healthy diet.
Disclaimer, not promoting margarine - I’m a butter girl (salted of course) and olive oil as my main fats, but I always like to dispel the myth! FYI - If you eat bottled salad dressing in the grocery store aisles, or many brands of mayo, essentially similar ingredients.

I was brought up on Marg. Just now I have the choice butter us better. And it’s a lot cheaper than it was in comparison as well. When I was a kid
