![Imagine a world without butter… Move to Norway and you won’t have to.
thedailywhat:
The Great Norwegian Butter Crisis Of 2011 of the Day: A low-carb, high-fat “fad diet” that’s taking Norway by storm has caused the Scandinavian country to run out of butter.
The stockpile was already experiencing a shortage due to weather conditions, which reduced Norway’s milk supply.
Things have reportedly gotten so bad that people have taken to a popular auction site to sell their personal butter stores at nearly four times the regular price.
The lack of butter couldn’t come at a worse time for Norwegians, who are preparing to stuff their face full of traditional Christmas biscuits that require a plentiful quantity of the hot commodity.
The Nordic nation’s high import duties are reportedly keeping out dairy exporters such as nearby Denmark from shipping in butter.
Norwegian dairy company Synnøve Finde is said to be importing 300 tons of Belgian butter to ease the crisis. “I think it’s horrible that Norway’s biggest and, in fact, only supplier [TINE] doesn’t have control of its production,” said a Synnøve Finden spokesperson.
PROTIP: If your diet requires so much butter that you run out of butter, switch to a different diet.
