Disaster in Norway


We had a good time in Norway this summer, but I'm sorry to report that conditions have changed since we were there.  There is a serious disaster underway.  Of course, I'm talking about the butter shortage. According to Reuters, a new low-carb diet in Norway has got people there eating much more fatty food, mostly butter.  Sales were up 20% in October, then 30% in November.  Apparently a wet summer means that milk supplies were already low, and now, just in time for holiday cooking, Norway is out of butter! Read more in the Reuters article.


I've said it before.  Butter may kill you, but its probably worth it.  Be sure you spell my name right when you quote me on that one.
