I'll agree with that, if you can't have some fun just as well be dead. My grandmother ate red meat at every meal, two eggs, ham for breakfast, fried chickens in lard for lunch and we celebrated her 101st birthday in April. All her doctors are dead. She has been in a hospital once in 101 years.

Natural foods fellas. People have been eating real "butter" for 12,000 years.

Those hydrogenated margarine spreads and all this other chemical preservative crap has only been around the last few years (culturally speaking), and look what it's already doing to folks.

Take a tub of "butter product spread" and sit it outside. The insects won't eat the stuff. And it can sit in the sun for days and never spoil.

I'll take my chances with buttermilk, bacon, and eggs thank you.
