Better With Butter: Here's Why Americans Are Consuming More

"There's a growing number of Americans who seem to believe that everything is better with butter."

"'I love butter,' Ashleigh Armstrong, 29, says, as she sips coffee at a cafe in Washington's Union Station. Among her favorites: "'Anything from Julia Child's cookbooks.'"

"There's no margarine in Ashleigh's refrigerator. "I'm not going to have the fake stuff," she says, adding that she'd rather indulge a little in rich foods and burn it off at a spinning class."

"And no, she's not worried about cholesterol. That's her grandmother's generation's concern, she says."
