Good article. I really object the demonizing of whole milk and whole milk products. Especially its ban in so many elementary schools, just the age when children need that fat and cholesterol for brain development.

I use only organic butter, coconut oil, grape-seed oil and ghee - and lard.

I render my own lard from organic fat back and make my own ghee - which is rendered butter. (This separates out the milk solids and lasts much longer.)

I keep table butter in a ‘butter bell’ so it's always spreadable.

I've been writing about these in my columns for years.

Also, remember, Canola oil (made from rape seed) and soy bean oil is almost certainly grown with Monsanto chemicals. Olive oil burns quicker than lard or coconut oil - and goes rancid to quickly, turning it into a very unhealthy oil.

(I was raised on my grandparents farm in the north woods during the late ‘30’s and 40’s. We provided the bulk of own foods - much the same as people had for centuries. Invaluable ‘training.”

Butter or olio? Seems like butter would be far better for you based on this fact alone:how much more easily it can be washed away

We buy the tubs of margarine and butter substitutes....never.

My grandparents grew up using pure lard or butter, they all lived in to their mid to late 90's except the few that smoked, then lung cancer got them first.

give me the REAL DEAL BUTTER, taste better, use less.

Margine is NOT DIGESTIBLE!
