Way OT: She drives to Nebraska with coolers in her car and stocks up on Kerrygold butter

I'm always surprised when these protectionist laws show up. This is similar to the states that passed laws to keep Tesla out of some states to protect the local car dealers from competition.

They need to do a Smokey and the Bandit reboot with butter instead of Coors.

Michigan has that but it appears that will be changed soon here.

We always try to buy organic foods, like our great grandparents ate, old fashioned, before Monsanto. So, for butter, we just get local organic if we can. Mad cow disease started because of making cattle become canibals.

Except that your great grandparents didn't use so many pesticides.

When I was a kid, margarine was targeted. It couldn't be colored to look more like butter. Don't know if that was unique to America's Dairyland.

....yes, click-ish......like Apple and Apple fanbois......many love Kerrygold but again it is more expensive than regular butter [ it cost on average $3.29 for half the regular size, only 2 sticks instead of 4 sticks ]......

It's more expensive because it tastes better. Anybody who's ever been to Europe knows their butter makes our butter seem pathetic.

I forget which TV cooking show I was watching, but they had Paula Deen do a butter tasting when she was a guest. As a joke, butter sample #6 was butter from her very own fridge, secured by her personal assistant as a gag. She nailed all 6 by taste and by look.

Just like all Cheddar Cheese isn't the same, so it is with butter.

I was not the best student in US geography, but why Nebraska? I can think of at least four states that touch Wisconsin?
