So he’s basically eating toast? If he’s eating everything else in his lunch, what’s the problem?

I used to have plain sandwiches as a child, I don’t think it’s a massive no no, but I guess ye can get low fat versions etc
No big deal, a long as he is eating. No difference in eating toast with butter.

We used to get bread and butter at meals at school, I see nothing wrong with it. As long as he’s getting other food too 
Does your husband only eat and drink water and celery??? It’s just toast untoasted.
Fed is best ! As long as the kid is eating something then take what you can until the next phase.

I ate miracle whip a.d butter daily for years…I told my grandma I wanted a sandwich without meat…guess I didn’t like her lunch meat
It’s like eating toast. You keep being the best mommy possible.

I used to give my daughter a roll and butter when she was little. We’d go to get something for lunch and that’s all she’d ask for, I used to get funny looks and people would tell me that’s not enough and I needed to put something else in it for her too. You do you and if that’s what he wants then give him it. He’s eating and I bet he’s happy and healthy so that’s all that matters.
As long as he’s eating why does it matter. Nothing wrong with bread and butter.

Use plant based spread as it has extras I. It but If he’s having other healthy stuff and eating ok at home for breakfast and tea, maybe cereal suppers, which are mostly with added whatnots, then that’s fine

Atleast he’s not eating just straight butter. My sister used to eat it from the tub with a spoon!
When we whined we were hungry our grandmother offered bread and butter. If we didn’t want it we weren’t that hungry. All us cousins survived. Doesn’t seem like a big deal.
Know several kids who eat very strangly and grow up to eat very well.
I would say as long as he is eating other healthy balanced food too then give it to him, pick your battles with your kids I say, is it worth the struggle the tantrums, no, he may eventually get sick of eating that and want something else.
Nothing wrong with it butter bread is fine my son used to eat mayo bread
My kid used to eat ketchup sandwiches.

It’s like a buttered pice of bread with dinner❤️
My chemistry teacher told me margarine is the worst thing you can put in your body. But this was 20 years ago, I’m sure there are more worse things invented by now. Although, that statement always stuck with me and I always buy butter.

My son wants pickle sandwiches and he eats them proudly in the school cafeteria 
" If the only thing a child will eat, is a cookie. Let the child eat a cookie. " - my family doctor when it came to my second son. He refused to eat anything and eat absolutely nothing unless it was junk food. So i just found a way to give him his nutrients through his juice ( made smoothies and veggie/fruit juices ) of course I’d offer him something healthy and it was always an option but he just refused and throw tantrums and bite if that was his only option. So my doctor said if it’s the only thing he’ll eat, give it to him.
I’d see about if you can put a new healthy food in his lunch for him to try everyday but other than that, give him unsalted butter instead of margarine. It’s a bit better than the oil in margarine

My daughter sometimes eats sandwiches with shredded Cheese and ranch as long as you aren’t layering it on thick like peanut butter and he is eating the fruits and veggies too I don’t see anything wrong with it.
My suggestion would be a daily vitamin (kids multivitamin) if you are worried. And honestly the bread and butter sandwich is healthier than an iceberg lettuce wedge “salad”. WIC doesn’t allow iceberg lettuce but pays for a loaf of bread…when I asked why, I was told there is little to no nutritional value in iceberg lettuce.

If he’s eating normal and just randomly wants margarine sandwich that’s fine but if that’s the only thing he’s eating I’d be worried too. But if that’s his little treat I wouldn’t mind
My 10 year old loves mayo sandwiches if that’s what he prefers than so be it eat it as long as your child is eating it shouldn’t matter. My 10 year old eats everything you can think of so I don’t care if he wants may sandwiches

It’s the same as eating toast… I personally don’t see the big deal ad long as it’s not like a ton of margarine on it

I use to eat butter straight out of the packets at restaurants and sometimes at home let the boy go through his phases every child does
As long as he is eating other things I think it’s fine. My son ate french fries and nuggets for 3 months straight. He is 27 years old now.

My youngest daughter is 6. She has been making peanutbutter, mayonnaise and mustard sandwiches 
and likes it with bologna too
My parents ate bread and butter or margerine with every meal. Whhen I was little a bread and butter sandwich with a cup of raisins was a snack my mom made me often. He is ok
Children are like tiny adults when it comes to food… They go through cravings like we do… No need to fuss
I’m sure it’s just a phase, as long as he’s getting the good veggies and fruits it’s fine, like the saying goes ‘pick ur battles wisely’…
I give my kids vitamins each dau my youngest at 6 has always been difficult to feed he will like something 1 week then not the next then 3 months later like ot agian hes diet is mostly cheerios, choclate spread sandwich, lemon cakes and chicken nuggets at the momen, im just happy hes eating cause some days he will starve himself as he had decided he dosent like any food,

My son is autistic and for an entire year he would not eat… only thing he would let me give him was pediasure . No fast food nothing he would throw up if you forced him… one day he just snapped out of it… I was so traumatized by this that now any kid around me gets what they want to eat

Just remember margarine has trans fats which are the bad kind.

If it’s once a day for lunch it won’t hurt him. If it was 5x a day everyday it would be different.

My mom grew up on lard sandwiches and I used to love just mustard sandwiches
If my husband started yelling at me because I gave my kid buttered bread he would not still be here 
No it’s not healthy so I would not do it every day but he’s eating. Maybe get whole wheat bread?
My kids pick everything they don’t like off the sandwich any way so why not save yourself a step and less waste… wait it out lol
Just go with it, it won’t last forever. My 10 year old ate ketchup sandwiches daily for like 2 years. Finally outgrew it
It’s just like toast but not toasted with an extra piece of bread . I have a family member who used to dip sticks of butter in sugar and eat it
If people are so up in arms about Margarine please don’t look into the ingredients of the “American cheese” slices everyone uses on their sandwiches. Or how McDonald’s makes their nuggets, or in the composition of Bologna.
As a mom of very sensory sensitive kids, as well as being a Personal Trainer and Nutritionist, this isn’t much different than the majority of what people are consuming macro for macro at lunch. This is a phase.
Pack some fruit, and get in the veggies and whole protein sources where you can. Your husband is overreacting.

Meh, it’s fine. Kids have their weird phases.
Change it to a butter sandwich. Kids go through phases. Margarine was originally made for cows. They found it is very toxic. So they decided to feed it to people instead. Just switch to butter.

You’re not the only one who does this I give them to my kids and I also enjoy eating them too
I still eat that. My teenagers are picky eaters🙄
So long as he has a proper balance at any other time, what’s the problem? We all eat weird things as snacks or what not. Besides, its essentially toast 
Growing up we ate ketchup sandwiches

That’s just toast without being toasted! I would only worry if that was the only thing he ate at every meal!
Just buy the healthiest bread and margarine that you can and don’t worry about it unless your child isnt malnourished than who cares

i mean people put it on their toast and eat it that way. what is the difference?

Has your son been checked for Autism and sensory processing disorder?
When my kids were young, we ate whatever my kids wanted to eat. Whether it was nasty fish stick or hot dogs. I lived for mine. Live for yours. I’m glad I did because now. They cook for me.
This is litrally the only 'sandwich ’ my youngest son eats , just butter sandwich no filling. He is quite choosy with food but will have the ham or cheese ect separately and the rest of his diet is pretty good. My eldest now a strapping over 6ft tall 15 year was exactly the same and its clearly not done him any harm.
Just butter toast not cooked yet…
As long as he ate some other stuff too…I wouldn’t worry. We gotta chose our battles.
Meh. It’s basically like grilled cheese without the cheese. From your post is sounds like he’s still eating other things, so I would t worry about it. Most fast food isn’t nutritive either but it’s a thriving industry. Moderation is key.
I love butter spread over toasted bread and so does my kids
My daughter went thru a phase eating just butter sandwiches.
My 2yo pretty much lives off of fruit loops, gummy’s, chicken nuggets, pizza & fries. Literally the only things he will definitely eat😅
Yours is fine lmao
It’s not hurting him. Or anyone else. Whoever is telling you different needs to get off it
I’m grown and still love peanut butter and butter sandwiches lol life is short, give him his margarine sandwich 
Lmao girl my child ate just the condiments the other night. They go through phases and sometimes it just not worth the fight
Is he overweight? If he is that’s an issue? If he’s not and doesn’t start having issues I see nothing wrong with it. No different than having a grilled cheese. I am a butter addict. Just make sure it’s real butter and not margarine. Margarine is one ingredient away from plastic and is REALLY bad for you.
