Margarine and butter purchases of 1,061 southern households are reported. These families purchased twelve times as much margarine as butter. Medium-income households, those headed by grammar school-educated persons, households headed by farmers, those with an unemployed homemaker, and white households bought more margarine, on the average, than those in other categories. High-income households and those headed by retired/unemployed persons, on the other hand, generally purchased more butter. In these southern households, margarine purchases would have contributed significantly to "advised" caloric and fat intakes.
