822-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 1, 1994 Consumers Prefer Butter Fewer people are depriving themselves of the great taste of butter. For the first time in 15 years butter consumption is increasing while sales for other table spreads have been slipping. Per capita consumption of but ter is up 10 percent over the past three years. Last year alone, but ter sales jumped 8.8 percent, and more increases are expected. Consumers are buying more butter because of lower prices. The gap between prices of butter and margarine has decreased con siderably over the past few years. Lower price isn’t the only reason people are buying more butter. Bad publicity for margarine has also increased butter sales. Med ical studies have linked trans fatty acids to margarine. This new research shows that trans fatty acids found in margarine raise blood cholesterol. Consumers rate butter primari ly for its taste and the delectable flavor it brings to other foods. Many find butter to taste more natural than margarine. r m FISHER'S PAINTING & FISHER S PAINT OUTLET STORE QUALITY PAINTS @ REASONABLE PRICES ■ ALL TYPES of interior & EXTERIOR up PAINTING " ■ SANDBLASTING ■ ROOF COATING ■ RESTORATION & WATERPROOFING ON STONE & BRICK BUILDINGS HOUSES - BARNS - FENCES - FACTORIES - ETC.
