In 1902 an amendment was made to the 1886 Oleomargarine Act. This new amendment taxed colored margarine at 10 cents per pound ($3.36 today) and white margarine at a fourth of a cent per pound (8 cents today).
Sliding into your bitcoin-only feed with some NOSTR normie content...... with the interesting tale of fake butter....
By 1898, 32 out of the then 45 states had passed laws restricting the artificial coloration of margarine. States such as Minnesota even required margarine to be colored pink to clearly indicate it was artificial and not real butter. In 1898, however, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down these “pink laws” as unconstitutional.
Five minutes down this rabbit hole.... Today's going to be a good day.
Thanks, Murray Rothbard, you mentioned it for like 30 seconds, 😂.
