i use store brand butter almost exclusively. paying $7 for butter just. christ. definitely never seen lactantia go for $3; i’d stock up too.
nobody said op was a fool but i am still skeptical even if a food researcher has a gut feeling about something without actual science to back it up. in part because as other researchers have noted, this addition of palm to cattle feed is not new.
this isn’t to say that any of these people are wrong, just that it’s impossible to know without actual testing, and convincing a bunch of people on twitter of anything isn’t that hard.
from what i understand it’s more common in alberta herds than in places east.
i also only use salted butter. i use it for everything. salted butter supremacy!!!
