You’ll notice that the label says that my tasty corn treat is “94% Fat Free Butter.”
Butter is fat. It’s all fat. Le fat, c’est butter. Whatever bits of other protein that butter may harbor can only be expressed in terms of “trace amounts.”
So at 94% fat free, this would contain 6% fat and 94% nothing. Or maybe that floating piece of popcorn on the lable is covering up some words that would make the whole thing make sense. Like "94% Fat. Free Butter Now!" Like a protest.
Why do I bother to read labels?

If you read labels, listen to the TV reports, or read magazine articles, you find out that absolutely nothing is good for you. Thus, I quit all that! (Makes it easier).
Apparently green food is good. I'll remember to eat the green M&M's.
Well, just be careful. You know what they say about those green M&Ms . . .
