>Americans have rekindled their love affair with butter. The Wall Street Journal reports that the average American downs nearly 23 sticks of butter a year, pulling ahead of margarine for the third year running. The reversal in tastes coincides with a growing backlash against processed foods and new research suggesting that fat might have been unfairly singled out for vilification.

>But don’t call it a comeback. Butter consumption today has got nothing on the roaring twenties, when the average American used to spread, melt and eat it with abandon, downing 18 pounds, or roughly 72 sticks a year.

>Americans are rediscovering their taste for butter despite previous notions of the dairy product’s unhealthiness.

>The nation is expected to consume 8% more butter than last year, reaching 940,000 metric tons, according to a report from the United States Department of Agriculture. That’s the largest amount of butter consumed since 1967, Bloomberg reports.

If you only used butter as opposed to any other kind of fat or oil and only used a single tablespoon a day for all the food you cook you're still using just under a stick a week. You might use a tablespoon in mashed potatoes alone. A little bit to to make grilled cheese or to put on a biscuits, rolls, steamed vegetables or to cook eggs/meats. It's not unthinkable.

>> No.10501064

I exclusively eat home cooked meals, and I’m at like 5 or 6 sticks a month if not a bit more. When you factor in potatoes and vegetables, it’s really a small amount If that’s a major staple in your diet as it is mine. I don’t think I remember hearing about any sort of obesity epidemic in the 20’s. That shit only came around when people stopped eating butter.

Why? Even if you ate an entire stick of butter right now, that's barely 800 calories. Using less butter typically means you have more of other fats, such as olive and other plant oils/fats, and animal fats. I agree that variety is ideal, but one stick of butter for over a month is an extreme arbitrary limitation.

American here. Came to say I eat a couple sticks of butter a week, or half a pound (227g). That's about 104 sticks/26 pounds/12kg per year. And yes, I even eat about half of that straight. I'm not fat. I have perfect cardiovascular health (40 years old, too). 5'11"/170lbs. I have a 30" waist, so I'm a little bit too muscular for BMI to be a great indicator of my health. I don't eat sugar though. Sugar is for fatties. And fuck margarine. It's an abomination like most highly processed food.

The problem here is that the butter in the USA is made with pasteurized milk so it’s technically not true butter.
The same is true of the ‘cheese’ as it’s a federal offence to knowingly supply raw milk or transport it over state lines.
Maximum penalty for raw milk related felony is up to 10 years incarceration. Apparentally this is done to prevent public health issues yet Ranch which is full of transfats is perfectly legal.

I don't understand your contradictory image and the information in the post. your posts suggests Americans should eat way more butter since its better for you just like in the 20s when everyone was skinny as hell. yet you put a fat person as an image. I do not understand.
