Even when not a single cow contributed to its production. You need to ask for "real butter" if you don't want margarine (wich usually means Becel in Holland, a stuff I absolutely loathe). Strange how the meaning of a word can change. As to color: Margarine is usually yellow or white here, butter is usually white, except during summer, when the cows get to eat some real grass, and the "real" butter turns yellow.
As to silly regulations. In the EU even the bendyness of Bananas is regulated... Krist
