Who doesn’t love butter? Be honest. Our contemporary American culture seems to be on a never-ending rollercoaster of fad diets, and sadly butter was bumped off the coaster, condemned as a healthy dieter’s worst enemy. But a few days ago I saw one doctor rescue butter from the nasty, avoid-at-all-costs banned foods list. I don’t remember all the exact reasons healthy dieters should embrace butter once again–I think there was something about natural butter being better than the shelves of butter substitutes. Anyhow, I didn’t really listen to the rest of the report because I happily let myself be consumed by savoring thoughts of warm melted butter on breads and all my favorite veggies. So, salivating I left before the report was over to buy butter. Real butter. No margarine. No half butter, half canola oil, but real butter. Call me Paula Deen because I am beginning to feel an attachment to butter that has made Paula famous. Obviously everything is better in moderation, so I think welcoming butter back into my diet is not a dangerous thing–maybe if I develop strange habits like eating spoon fulls of butter or slathering butter on my body people should worry about me. (Hmmmm…is body butter made of real butter?) But I’m definitely not to that point. Yet. Anyhow, I just wanted the world to know that butter is back, so no more buying tubs that say, “I can’t believe it’s not butter!” New fad: real butter in, wannabe substitute butters out. Go buy your tub and get buttering!
