Butter. It's actually a VERY healthy food. I'll let the Butter Council explain why:

1. ...

[quakerboy]

2. I know a man

who eats sticks of butter.

I encourage him not to do so when I have appropriate opportunities.

3. I hang over the frying pan and steal spoonfuls while it's melting.

Oh GAWD I love butter.

4. MiddleFingerMomSis used to eat pats of butter when she could get away with it...

...but this is the woman who, as a kind of independence celebration in
her first apartment, snacked in one sitting on an entire bottle of
maraschino cherries (we were only allowed ONE at a time as a "special
treat" when we were growing up).

I don't think she's been able to face another one since.

(There was also the dry dogfood that she tried -- but DENIES now.)

5. I hear tell that my father used to eat butter like that as a kid

Yet he's still kickin.

And since we are on the subject of weird food choices made by family members, I've got some goods on my younger sister. Oh boy, do I!!! (Gotta add beverages to the mix though)

The 3 best?... Her own pee, her own pooh, and a giant earthworm. :puke:

The pooh thing happened when I was only about 7 or 8. I know this because she was still in diapers at the time. My mother had just finished changing her and had set her down on the floor near where I was playing, telling me to keep an eye on her for a moment. It was clear that almost immediately upon being put on the floor, she spied something she needed to investigate because she toddled over to whatever it was very quickly.

Before I had a chance to stop her, she had some small brown ball of something in her mouth. (And yes, I would have stopped her had I known) O8) ... umm, well maybe not, but it all happened too quickly for me to form vengeful older sister ideas. Honestly!!!

Anyway, it turned out to be a perfectly formed round turd-ball that must have somehow rolled out of the diaper and onto the floor escaping the notice of my mother while changing her. Apparently, it must NOT have tasted very good, because she spit out so forcefully, it was splattered all over the wall. I've no idea why, but my mother never believed this story, so consequently, I got in BIG trouble.

The earthworm consumption, well ok, that WAS my fault but I think I had earned some revenge, and she was such a willing participant. :evilgrin:

The pee thing was ENTIRELY her own fault though. I wasn't even there, but heard it had involved Tequila and a dare gone terribly wrong. :-)

6. I love, love coming over here for the stories...this one definitely grossed

me out. One time my youngest was in for her nap and I was out by the pool, her window being hearby so I could hear her when she awoke. It started to get late so I went in her room to find her, with a really dirty diaper, finger painting the wall with the poo that had leaked out of the diaper. Her older brothers were laughing so hard they couldn't even get the tub turned on. I removed the diaper and just stuck her in the tub with them watching her. Took me ages to clean that whole mess up. Child kept looking at me during this chaos with that "did I do something wrong?" look. Ah, the memories.

He calls himself Pricasso (I might be spelling this wrong - never could spell write:P )

14. True family story...

My great aunt Olive (everyone called her Tia) walked into a room where my uncle's crib was set up. My uncle had managed to leave little well shaped turdletts across the bottom of said crib. Thinking they were chocolates, Tia picked one up and ate it.

True story, at least according to my dad.

8. OMG, lubricates your arteries and veins. LMAO.

Well, they were partly right about the arteries and veins.

:rofl:

9. That's my son.

Seriously, my son will grab a stick of butter out of the fridge and eat the whole thing if we don't stop him in time.

10. There's good fat and bad fat.

They figured this out in the medical community.
Butter is better for you than nasty stuff like oleomargarine (does anybody but me call it oleomargarine)?

Olive oil is good too.

Saturated fats are bad. I knew they would eventually say eggs were good for you too.

I eat a lot of butter and eggs and milk and cheese.

And I like BAAAA-CONNNNNN (Homer Simpson zombie voice) too.

11. ha ha

12. Butter is healthier than margarine, anyway...

Butter is totally trans fat free.
