Quit buttering us up! 🧈

If aliens had landed in the United States any time between 1880 and 1940 they would quickly be convinced that we were a nation at war with butter substitute. Oleomargarine is everywhere in the records of Congress during this period. The Committees on Agriculture, Manufacture, and Ways and Means were all involved. Dairymen were sending their representatives petitions defending butter and decrying the fate of the nation if this interloper called “oleo” were to become a permanent fixture in American households.

C.C. Buell, a dairy farmer from Rock Falls, Ill., convinced some fellas of “at least average intelligence” at the Grange picnic to sign this petition saying there ought to be a law against oleo because “its continued use may be the cause of pestilential diseases in our large cities.” Nothing says hot button issue like fake butter!

Petitions and Memorials, Resolutions of State Legislatures, and Related Documents Which Were Referred to the Committee on Agriculture during the 46th Congress (HR46A-H2.4); Records of the U.S. House of Representatives, RG 233; Washington, DC.

Getting to tour an Organic Valley farm made a huge impression on me, as you can tell!

Do you do just the emblems? Cuz I'd love to see different ozpin ship emblems like Second Chances (Ozpin x Glynga)

I mostly mess around with the emblems when I'm arranging the characters, otherwise I never really keep saved versions of them

That and I'm kinda bad at making them

Farm week is upon us! Which means we work on the Faculty Farm for a week, helping with all the work and getting a glimpse of what it takes to run an organic dairy farm. It also means starting the work day in Utrecht at 7:00, so setting my alarm at 4:30 for the coming week 😅💪🏻

We visited a local dairy for milk and I got to pet this cutie for a half an hour while Ma chatted with the farmer 🤩 I got sneezed on a lot but it was worth it

Expect many more comics about this trip to come because I learned so much!
