The processed food industry is struggling to come to grips with a more educated consumer. Gone are the days where government and mass-media could completely sway the buying habits of the American public as they did in the past. Today mainstream media is still largely financed by big industry, from pharmaceuticals to processed food to automobiles, and as Americans change their buying habits it is very likely mainstream media will also die a slow death.
It would be wrong to assume that the processed food industry will simply change and start producing healthy food, however. Instead, they will try to capitalize on the new trends in healthy eating, and attempt to become suppliers in this market space. It has been happening with organic products for years, as Big Food has lobbied to loosen USDA organic standards, while also buying up smaller companies to add to their processed food portfolio. Much of the organic food industry today is large-scale processed food.
It is no surprise that one of the world’s largest margarine producers has come out and admitted that they have been wrong about butter all along, and that it is indeed healthier than margarine. This is not a suddenly new found concern about the health of consumers, but a marketing reality as sales of margarine continue to plummet while sales of butter skyrocket. So don’t expect them to start offering healthy whole foods anytime soon. Their solution is simply to add some of the “real” stuff into the fake stuff. And that real butter will more than likely come from milk produced in large CAFOs (confined animal feeding operations)

Happy to hear that, but who told you? Ha Ha!
They make a couple versions of it. I just like ours better and it’s cheaper I think.
Kerry Gold is available in 1/4 lb sticks...talk to your store manager about ordering a test supply to see if it sells in your locale. They’re all about holding onto and increasing product sales.
Hope so. We have two in Spokane, a far smaller city. I had to drive across town when they only had one, but our town is smaller than yours. Spokane water is atrocious. Environmental Working Group (ewg.org) rates water , and on a scale of one to nine, with nine the worst, we’re a 9 and they don’t even know we have lead in the pipes. I have my MD, who has a family and lives nearby, getting water there. Just buy bottles and refill .
Oh funny, I know Spokane (or did years ago). Went to WSU, worked there for a few years back in the 80’s.
