    Butter isn’t actually that bad for you. There was a botched study that was later refuted, but not before the margarine industry had an epic all-out war with the butter industry where both sides did shady shit. (Like, at one point the butter lobby succeeded in making it illegal to color margarine yellow.)

      I mean it’s bad for you in the way that salt is bad for you… Too much without anything to balance it is bad, but used correctly it actually has benefits. The fat free diet to me is the same as trying to have a salt free diet… There’s probably more going on there than just that one thing.
