Practically melting tupperware, And putting it on toast Options

[[x]Mari[x]]

Don't know if this fact has been brought up yet, but...

Here's a piece of an article I read:


***
DID YOU KNOW... The difference between margarine and butter?

Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE from being PLASTIC...

( this fact alone was enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated , this means hydrogen is added changing the molecular structure of the food )

YOU can try this yourself, purchase a tub of margarine and leave it in your garage or shaded area, within a couple of days you will note a couple of things, no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it,( that should tell you something) it does not rot, smell differently...Because it has no nutritional value, nothing will grow on it, even those teeny weeny microorganisms will not a find a home to grow...Why? because it is nearly plastic. Would you melt your tupperware and spread that on your toast?

Yuck!

Is that true? Kinda gross... imagine. If one molecule changed, everything plastic would turn into margarine, and vice versa.

[EmmalieV]

Interesting , but the butter will melt , and ants here will get on anything.

[WhiteLotus*]

I guess I like the way plastic tastes then. I do not like butter. But hey I never knew that.

[[Scr3amin][Horro...]

Wow interesting facts.

ONE MOLECULE

I still cant believe in lol.

[b0st0ngrl]

Im sure there are lots of foods that are one molecule different from something we don't eat...But I don't care, I'll still use margarine.

[sadolakced acid]

ehhh.

not entirely true. the 3-d structures are very different.

[avalon*]

If we had one molecule changed in us, we wouldn't be able to survive...so there's a pretty big difference.

[parallel]

Whoaaa.
I never knew that.
Weird.

[fallen_angel1137]

I learned something new today. Hmmm...that's kinda crazy, but very interesting.

[Saeglopur]

Sure, if you keep adding some things to some things - they can be near gold. Mwahahah.

[*stephinika*]

i've heard that before haha thats why i use butter. i never liked margarine that much anyways.

[mocassinsx29]

Freaky, I never knew that. But I spread neither butter nor [or is it or?] margarine on anything I eat. Not toast, not pancakes, so it doesn't really matter. Unless it's already cooked with butter or margarine... Oh well, as long as it doesn't have that one molecule.

[jaeman]

I like margarine more than I like butter, but that's pretty interesting if it's true.

[sadolakced acid]

doesn't margrine come in plastic tubs?

[ApocalypseAelis]

I don't eat margarine, anyway...so it doesn't really matter to me.

Does anyone know if it's safe to eat 100% tupperware plastic?

[KissMe2408]

lol yah i never did like margarine...Butter is the only way to go :)

[YourSuperior]

I didn't know that, it's kind of gross. I'm glad I don't use margarine for my toast.

[ag3nt_sm17h]

doesn't margrine come in plastic tubs?

Yes... Margrine Is the tub.... or there is no tub... I don't know...

[*mipadi*]

I'm skeptical of the validity of that statement. Margarine is mostly animal or vegetable fats, with a few other ingredients (which can include skim milk, emulsifiers, and salt). I don't think any of those things are plastic.

well, that's what margrine originally was, but now a days it's easier to take vegetable oil and add hydrogen to it.

[*mipadi*]

Vegetable oil is vegetable fat. And adding hydrogen is the process of hydrogenation, which makes a liquid fat into a solid fat.

yes, but originally margrine was made with cow stomach parts and some other stuff...

[[x]Mari[x]]

^And what is butter made out of?

[sadolakced acid]

^And what is butter made out of? 

milk?

[funbobby]

Yeah its all about the carbon bonding in the molecules. Margarine is unsaturated (as in the unsaturated fats in the butter) which means that it has a carbon = carbon double bond. polyalkane plastics do not have these double bonds and so are called saturated (as all the potential hydrogens have been bonded). Interestingly enough the reason we can't eat plastic is because it does not have any spare bonds that the body can react with and so cannot break down.

[[x]Mari[x]]

^.........huh?

[*mipadi*]

yes, but originally margrine was made with cow stomach parts and some other stuff...

Actually, it was originally made from the liquid part of beef fat.

[`SWTWiNKLE3YES]

lol oh wow .. thats really interesting. fortunately, i like butter more ^^

[*jooleeah*]

There are some very smart people here.

Er. I liked butter better, anyway.

[rx_azngirl]

I've never heard that before..

[enyceXaddiction]

and all along i thought they were the same exact thing lols

why do i get the feeling that's wrong?

[KERP1UNK]

I've never heard that before..

me either. and i'm still skeptical about this whole thing...even if it is true, i would still use margarine.

[jennyjenny]

I always thought they were like, the same thing.

I use 'I can't believe it's not butter.'
Is that margarine?

[kill me please]

i didnt know that. oo time to go talk to my teacher that knows all those things lol.

[[x]Mari[x]]

I always thought they were like, the same thing.

I did, too, but I got that in an email last year... just remembered it yesterday.

[*salcha*]

How nice....I've been making almost plastic rice krispies..

[[x]Mari[x]]

^lol

[Chii]

why is that a bad thing? at least you'll know ants or whatever aren't going to swarm over your margarine.

[[x]Mari[x]]

^True. o.o

Someone I know told me that a green vegetable molecule is one particle away from being a blood molecule.. >__< That's somewhat amusing.

[sadolakced acid]

guess what?

A MOLECULE IS VERY COMPLEX.


hemoglobin is a molecule.

protiens are molecules

your genome is on 47 very large molecules.

enter the world of polypeptides.

[toodlepops.]

That's interesting. I'll still be eating margarine, though.

[dahding]

mmm....plastic. *munch*

ah who cares.

[xsweetxcandyx]

thats sorta icky =]

[miss barnes]

yea i knew that but margarine tastes soo much better..better flavor and why wouldnt u want something that ants and flies wouldnt get on??

[funbobby]

why do i get the feeling that's wrong?

You are more than undoubtably right. Although as you so rightly said Margarine and polymers are so complex you cannot say that one molecule distinguishes the two. I checked up on the free radical thing by the way and it was right. Enzymes need those free electrons in their activation site (or whatever its called now).

[SillyCourtney]

Well ya know what, butter just doesn't taste right on toast. I'll stick with my margarine.

[lilJdawg]

Ew, now that's krusty. It's like eating plastic. Wtf.

[[x]Mari[x]]

why wouldnt u want something that ants and flies wouldnt get on??

That's true :/

[Frizzank]

I dont like margerine anyway.

[Midnight Faerie]

That's really weird. I've never had margerine anyway, nor have I ever wanted to try it. Now I think I know why. I must have known this all along and never realized it....

Or maybe not.

[DanielleMaria05]

Hum.. That makes me want to go eat some bread and margine...

[jue]

Is that true? Kinda gross... imagine. If one molecule changed, everything plastic would turn into margarine, and vice versa

woahh; that got me thinking.. wow if that happened half of my plates and bowls would be margarine.
