Apparently the eating butter thing only works if a) it’s Swiss butter and b) you wash it down with Swiss wine.

First time I saw it (from the car) I thought it was an anti-butter ad, but what’s really annoying is that you just cannot get the spreadable, relatively healthy, butter tasting (eg I can’t believe it’s not butter, or Utterly Butterly) products here. So maybe based on that, butter is healthier than the horrid margarine?

Wait a second...

So, I should: stop going to the gym, stop taking vacations to sunny destinations, and start eating butter?

That's going to involve some serious lifestyle changes.

I’m so proud of myself… we just had our “going to the restaurant” unit in our German class last week, so I could actually read the ad.

I think the metallic bikini underwear has scarred me, though…

No, we don’t want to be unnaturally brown or something

Had to ask myself, is there really a butter council? Then I read your footnote… cute! Sense of humor

After seing that non-butter eater on the right, I’ll stick to moderate, but definitely butter consumption. BWT, where’s the deflating valve on that guy?

TQE – obviously people who eat butter don’t grow beyond a size M?

Amelie – I noticed that, too. How funny that they would paste together their non-butter-eater.

BB – That’s too funny. Reminds me of the “beef – it’s what’s for dinner” ads in the US.

I must say, those boys are some very fit butter-eaters.

There’s a campaign here in Hungary to get people to eat more red meat. As though the typical Hungarian meal isn’t already meat with a side of meat, topped with sour cream and paprika. Moderation, shmoderation.
