In this episode of Info on the Go, we dive into the creamy, controversial world of butter and margarine! What’s the difference between the two? We break it down, starting with the rich history of butter—a discovery dating back to 8000 B.C., born from the simple churning of milk cream. Then we explore margarine’s invention as a budget-friendly butter substitute, a creation inspired by a challenge from Napoleon III in the 19th century.
But it’s not just about the ingredients or methods—it’s about the drama! We delve into the Oleomargarine Wars, where politics, economics, and class tensions collided over the regulation and sale of margarine. From yellow dye controversies to cross-border smuggling, the battle between dairy farmers and margarine manufacturers is as fascinating as it is absurd.
