Wall Street Journal’s Kelsey Gee reports that BUTTER per-capita demand on the rise, total national production back to levels not seen since World War II, and margarine safely relegated to the country’s second favorite spread. Average American each year is consuming 5.6 lb of Butter a day. Still 1/3rd of what people were eating in 1930. Remember those days butter was the major source of energy compare to today we get energy from many other sources.

Butter isn’t the only thing that is both back, Coffee culture seems ever-present today, but in fact Americans today drink less than half the 48 gallons per person they did in 1948.

In 1975, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture numbers, Americans consumed 425 million pounds of yogurt; by early 2012 that had risen to 4.4 billion pounds. Cheese consumption in    the same period went from just over 19 pounds per person to nearly 36 pounds. And all of this is happening while milk consumption continues its long-term decline.
Per-capita U.S. milk consumption, which peaked around World War II, has fallen almost 30% since 1975, even as sales of yogurt, cheese and other dairy products have risen, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture statistics. The reasons include the rise in popularity of bottled waters and the concern of some consumers that milk is high in calories.

I was amused and surprised to read that the average American consumes 5.6 lbs of butter a day...but it was even better when I read the next sentence and learned that that amount is just a third of what people ate per day in 1930. So, let's see, they must have been eating about 16.8 lbs a day. Wow!!! How did they get it down? That's almost a pound per waking hour. ;) Thanks for the laugh & nice article!
