As a result of the perfect storm of: a) a craze for a popular "fat-rich, low-carb" weight-loss diet, b) a shortage of animal feed that caused a drop in milk production, c) a butter monopoly that controls 90 per cent of the butter supply and d) is protected from foreign competition by trade barriers that prohibit imports from European countries, there is now a butter shortage in Norway as the festive baking season approaches.
According to this news report "Supermarket shelves in Norway have been stripped bare of butter after its people ate their way through the nation's entire stockpile."
Thanks to several CD readers who reported on this story.
