The Comedy of Butter

Butter. Put it on you toast, your sandwich, your muffin, your waffle, your peas, your potato, your lefse, your corn-on-the-cob; Hell, just grab a stick of butter, dip it in sugar, and take a big bite! Mmmm…delicious. I suppose I don’t think about it since butter has been around almost forever, but what a silly thing to eat! Yes, it tastes wonderful to taste but….

In the U.S. products sold as butter are required to have at least 80% fat.

80% fat. What a majority. Let’s consider then that butter = fat.

Do you think it’s funny that we spread fat on food to make it taste better? Seriously, we keep fat in a glass case on the table during dinner. It’s funny.
