Listen up! Butter, also happens to be the highest source of fat soluble vitamins A & D. Fatty acids in Butter act both to produce energy and retain muscle mass and burn fat! In short, Butter is our Friend. Butter loves you. Butter is as close as your neighborhood grocer's freezer. My neighborhood grocer went missing for two weeks and they found his body later in another grocer's freezer. But I digress.

This is the best news I could have gotten about butter! I knew that some fats are our friend, but I didn't think butter was among them. Here I was feeling guilty for my butter love. Butter is so flexible and can be used for many, many things. (Illustrated by what Euromonkey said. ) I saw a cooking show that says you should bake with unsalted butter and just add a little salt and your food will turn out better. Butter really is soooo much better than margarine. And, apparently, healthier for you too. mmmm...butter!

So did the other grocer kill him? Or was it a set up? My brother in law used to work for a grocer in NYC and they were mafia. Gangster grocers.

It occurred to me that there are numerous punctuation and grammatical mistakes. I whisked out that ode in a flash while Indi was climbing on me. So, while the prose wouldn't be any better had I more time, the punctuation might be. Notice I said might...
