The Law

During the great dairy wars of the 20th century, the dairy lobby pushed hard to criminalize serving oleomargarine under the guise of butter. If a Colorado eatery serves a butter substitute, they must clearly display a sign or print a notice on the menu, lest they deceive the public's tastebuds.
