        Just looked up Land O Lakes because it’s the first popular one that comes to mind.

        Sweet Cream, Salt. CONTAINS: Milk

        Of 14g serving size 11g is fat which is about 78-80% fat.

        Another generic butter

        Great Value Sweet Cream Unsalted Butter

        PASTEURIZED CREAM (MILK), NATURAL FLAVORING.

        Natural flavoring is the alarming part of this list. But still has cream as the main ingredient.

        For butter? Have you seen American butter? Literally the only ingredient is cream and it’s made the same way as European butter. Now margarine/oleomargarine is a manufactured butter substitute made from whipped oils and tallows with God knows other oil based products. But that isn’t unique, it’s widely available across the world and is usually sold as a “butter like spread” in America.

        America is going through a rough spot but it’s not some hell hole of careless abandon right now. Look up English ice cream and American ice cream you will be surprised. America takes its dairy products VERY seriously.
