Nice story, pity about the truth.

I live in Australia and there is plenty of butter around.

It says looming shortage and stock up. Clearly it's a predicted shortage. I hope they're wrong but who knows?

I transport butter. Tons of butter. I just brought a load to a town to the South East of Paris and tomorrow I'll haul another load to Central France; they love our Dutch Butter in their croissants. I'll skip the finished product but will eat the butter...

O oh we're in for a price hike. I had noticed the margarine section is shrinking in my local supermarket. Think it's time to start putting pressure on restaurants and cafés would use butter not trans fats.
