Butter for me - although I sometimes us "Brummel and Brown" spread which is made with Yogurt. I do like olive oil but it does make toast a bit soggy.

I suspect that margarine is one of those things that has inertia, and people use it because their mother did. Very few people have actually thought very much about the option.
Gosh, all my votes would go for butter and I would never eat those chemicals that are in Margarine? Even spelling "margarine" is bad enough. Viva Butter! I would be miserable without it! One of Man's most ingenious creations!

Butter - the more "real" the food, the better.
