re: wheat berries / would be good sweet
They are! My mom's friend has this recipe for this fruit & grain salad that's basically wheat berries, rice, barley, plum, apple, and golden raisins.

Oatmeal every morning for breakfast. One (rounded) spoon of brown sugar and a splash of skim milk. Very filling.
I use a scoop that came in a quaker oats box years ago for measuring it. It just says "One Serving", but I recently found it's equivalent to 1/3 cup. Just right! In the bowl with 2 scoops of water, then in the microwave, 6 minutes at 40% power (so it doesn't boil over). The texture is perfect... YMMV, microwaves are fickle.

Smart Balance! Buy Smart Balance instead. I really like the kind with olive oil. The only time I use butter anymore is for baking and making icing*, I use SB for everything else and it works just fine.
*I don't care what anyone says, baked goods do taste different without butter and margarine in icing is nasty. Usually I make cream cheese icing, though, because it doesn't need as much sugar and a brick of cream cheese has about a quarter of the calories than a stick of unsalted butter.
Carl-E:
My folks use Olivio, it's surprisingly delicious.

I use a soy spread called Pure in the UK for almost everything; it has a quite neutral taste, so is always inoffensive.
