The question of what I put on my toast is not something that I want to
mull over. I'm just not into butter or butter substitutes. In this
matter, I'm gonna go the simplest and easiest route.

If you believe that some foods are more real than others and this gives
you some kind of advantage over others, that's fine with me. The
reality, however, is that your lifespan is not determined by whether or
not you're eating 100% genuine organic butter. Mostly, it's a matter of
heredity.

OTOH, the other day I bought 1000g of Japanese mayo for $8.97. I'm quite
proud of it. I also bought 500g of Kewpie for $4.87. I'm fairly certain
that this makes me superior to all you peons with your jar mayo.
