| “Sunshine, daisies, butter
mellow, turn this stupid, fat rat yellow!” -
Ron Weasley, ‘Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s
Stone’
Butter has been appreciated for thousands of years for
its great taste.
Made from from fresh milk and with no artificial additives,
it contains some of the vitamins needed to build strong
healthy bodies. Vitamins A, D and E are essential in the
development of healthy eyes, bones and skin and also help
us absorb the other nutrients we need from our food.
And even with modern rapidly changing fashions in diets,
one thing is still widely accepted: everybody needs to
eat some fat. Recent British Government estimates suggest
that
up to 30% of a person’s daily dietary intake should
be fat, with saturated fat – the sort of fats found
in butter – contributing a third of that total.
