Do you use a particular Make just because you prefer the flavour, or for health preference reasons?
I have: "I Can't Believe Its Not Butter" (the LIGHT version) - because I like the flavour, it's easy to spread, and LIGHT hoping to be less fattening.
(Heard somewhere that Easy Spreads were not actually healthy)!

I often think of our ancestors. Not way back when they died young of disease but such as my parents and grandparents. They all ate butter, cream, full cream milk, fatty meat, fried in lard etc. but they all lived into their 80s. I don't think it's the food we eat that makes us ill, it's our lifestyle.
We eat too much sugar, too much salt and too many 'man-made' foods full of chemicals. Of course the stuff they feed to our animals and spray on the crops probably doesn't do us much good either.
I'm as guilty (or guiltier) as the next person, eat too much and don't do enough exercise!
Sainsburys Butterliscious!!!. Its cheap without being too basic and is often on offer. it suits me fine.
Books, I'm not being rude honestly, but do you and your mother EVER do anything different to each other? You always seem to eat exactly the same things at the same time and do the same things and knit at the same time and go to bed at the same time etc. You sound like siamese twins! 
I know your mum doesn't swim.
