Butter sat at the center of nearly every kitchen for thousands of years. Then within a few decades, people were afraid to eat it.
I'm a first-time homesteader following in the footsteps of my great-grandparents, and butter is now a daily staple in my kitchen after years of believing it was unhealthy. The shift in how I see it didn't come from a study. It came from paying attention.
My great-grandmother milked her own cow and churned her own butter. By the time I was a teenager, my friends and I were chasing low-fat labels and avoiding the same food our ancestors had prized for generations.
Margarine showed up in a spray bottle in my house once, and my body knew within one bite that something was off. That memory stuck for a reason.
The story of butter isn't really about dairy. It's about how trusted foods get replaced, how marketing rewrites memory, and what happens to a family kitchen when you stop asking where the food came from.
