- Where's the U.S. mapped on the graph?
- If many countries are "cow poor" (e.g. limited grazing land, large lactose intolerant populations), do countries with "excess" butter need to give them or export more butter so they can be happier?

How could any nation have excess butter? It’s all so good. Anyway yes agreed that butter exports are a mega double win. I also still don’t miss my Breton French butter that I used to buy for $12. I’m perfectly content with Costco butter.

I put extra butter on my toast for breakfast today, having read this. Plus let's not forget the honey!
More seriously, I can't imagine living life on margarine (or spread as it's now called). It tastes disgusting and is bad for you.
