Mmmm… Butter… 5.6 Pounds Per Year!

Butter that wonderfully deliciously, creamy spread that makes even bacon taste better is now at a 40-year per-capita consumption rate high of 5.6 pounds. Yes, chances are YOU will eat more than five and a half pounds of butter in 2014.

Why the move to butter? Many nutritional and cardiovascular experts are saying that butter may not be as bad as once suspected, some even say a little butter could be good in the diet.

To paraphrase the tagline of a onetime butter replacement; 'I can't believe I ever thought this was a replacement for BUTTER!'
