    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.

        I knew a little who would just steal sticks of butter and eat them. When I was a kid I would steal raw hamburger and douse it in salt. I was horny for raw meat for real. Gotta hit up that RFK and share some facts. But no, obviously butter isn’t healthy. Tastes better in ghee form, excellent high temperature cooking oil, but don’t delude yourself.

    I happily trade future destruction for present deliciousness.

    It’s funny to me how this comic should be squarely in the category of cringe things that internet savvy people hate… But we don’t… Everyone loves it

      I did not know this. I consider myself internet savvy but always had a thing for cute aesthetics

      Internet savvy is a funny phrase. Does that mean you don’t do facebook and blackout drunk?

    Private Eye just called out Gordon Ramsay for advertising margarine after publishing many, many recipes saying to make stuff better by using more butter!
