The Butter-Margarine Chronicles is an interesting historical look at the Butter vs. Margaine debate put together by Don Payne of Iowa State's Department of English. For example, did you know that the dairy industry successfully lobbied several states to require that margarine be tinted pink or green ("to clearly identify" the sticks, but also to make it rather unappetizing)? Iowa State is a great place for this archive, since in 1943 the chair of the Department of Economics and Sociology resigned after standing up to the national dairy industry who attacked him for printing a wartime dairy pamphlet that contained the phrase oleomargarine "compares favorably with butter both in nutritive value and palatability". The president of the university bowed to the special interest groups, and the professor couldn't stay in that environment. He later went on to win the Nobel Prize for economics.
