I was thinking, thanks to the messages I am picking up in the media via television, magazines and advice of many, that butter is a bad guy.  Well, it seems, as with all things healthy, that butter is highly controversial.  What isn't?  So, I'm going to give a disclaimer here that if I post an article that I think is interesting reading material, it doesn't necessarily mean that I am supporting the information in the article to be true and accurate.  My purpose of giving information in this blog is simply to offer articles that get me, and I hope you, to thinking about food and our own personal food culture.  If we do not keep a questioning/learning mind about how we live our life, then we are apt to live according to whomever has the strongest influence over us and believe everything we're told without question.  Sometimes, that attitude can help us to fall into some habits and life styles that have negative consequences.  For me, it's that path of least thought that has contributed to some of my mindless eating.

With that all said, I felt the need to spotlight butter specifically as many of the dishes that seem to be those most fondly remembered are rich with butter.

Here is the article that I thought brings out some interesting information about butter:
