The real creme de la creme about why you should use butter is your health. As noted above and on the crisco vegetable shortening label is its made with "hydrogenated" palm oil. Many products removed hydrogenated oil which was used for many many years because your body can't digest it. Yep it doesn't displace the shortening because it can't break down and so it remains the same way within your body. It stores it in various places, which is why our generation maintains a puffy look from unknowingly digesting it for so many years. What we eat should taste good (as it does with butter), but should benefit our health more importantly.
