Note: This one does it backwards; if you cut it to fold down, the knee window automatically pops open if you fold it just right.

Higher than typical for American brands. Wasn't easy to find a European style butter dish so it would fit, though (for those who don't know, it's wider than American style--more the size of a brick of cream cheese). I buy cheaper butter for baking, but the flavor...!!

In order to see where they really stand you would have to look at the positions of those candidates they support. If it all tracks to Dairy Policies that support Land O Lakes long term financial goals, well that might be lousy but it's pretty understandable. While I want to get money out of politics, as long as it is, you have to assume that corporations are going to lobby to help out their goals.
