Butter is ancient. Humans have been churning milk and cream into a fatty spread for thousands of years – almost since we’ve had stone-age bread to spread it on. But over the last 150 years, there has been a battle for the butter knife on our breakfast tables.
In this article we look at the history of butter, margarine and low-fat spreads. We look at how preferences and health information about them has changed over the years, and ask, what is best to spread on our bread? This article includes references, further reading and questions for discussion.
