Excerpt:
Sacred, or at least special
Khosrova’s book, which was released in November, could not have better timing. In recent years, countless headlines have declared butter “back,” amid some science suggesting we may have overrated its health dangers. People are putting butter in their coffee, and the demand for “real food” is pervasive enough that in 2015, McDonald’s swapped out margarine for butter in its Egg McMuffin.

I keep hoping the muggles will continue their fear of butter. More for us, lower prices. :stuck_out_tongue:

mcDonalds should also put the beef tallow back into their frying grease. they were forced to change it to “heart healthy” vegetable oil :confounded:

Couldn’t help think of this when they mention monks making butter statues.

I thought they would mention the butter wars but they didn’t. They used to make margarine pink to try to keep people from buying it.

That was really interesting. I thought margarine was younger than that. I assumed it was a WWII invention.
