Everyone loves her. Julia had so much wisdom. I like that they included her quote"You need fat in your diet to process vitamins". I heard her say this in a couple different episodes. I want to believe that it is true. More butter please.
I'm not sure it's needed to process vitamins, but it is needed. Proportions are everything. And I'm with you on the butter. Margarine is not food. Everything I've read suggests the health risks of margarine are higher than butter, and when I switched from margarine to butter, my cholesterol *dropped* 40+ points. (That was the only consistent identifiable change I'd made between the two doc appointments, and I don't even use that much of it.)
