So is my 2 year old the only one who likes to eat plain butter now & then?

I saw some eyebrow raises in the post below where I posted AAP sample menu for 2 year olds - specifically at its inclusion of butter or margarine. Jack occasionally will ask for "bit! bit!" when I have the butter out - and I cut him a little slice - and he eats it right up, yum, yum! Honestly, he is such a skinny little guy I figure he can use a little extra fat in his diet now and then! But yeah, it's gross. Not to him though! Quite the treat. Butter pats and Juice! Yep, that's me!

Oh, I am FINE with butter (and yes we put it on veggies occasionally...in fact, I do think he has eaten it straight up before)...it's margarine I have a problem with. That stuff is disgusting.

jake loves to eat butter straight. he uses bread as a butter delivery device. He'll lick the butter off, ask for more, and have a breakdown if we say no!

When we go to Cheesecake Factory, the only way we can keep Toodle occupied until the food comes is to let him eat the butter pats that accompany the bread. So far he's still way disproportionate height over weight so I'm not too concerned.

Eli likes to eat it plain too. I used to when I was little too.

random sidebar - one restaurant I bartended at had a VERY creative kitchen. They once offered a waitress a filet mignon cooked as she'd like if she ate a stick of butter straight up in front of them. She did. Without flinching. bleck!

Gotcha and I agree! Butter = good, margarine definitely = blech!

brighton LOVES his butter, though it's soy butter he always wants some (on toast)

Rhayna steals it. Like finds the butter dish (that she calls the butter's princess house) and will hide behind something and eat it....like a whole stick if I don't intercept it! LOL

OMG, this! Butter is awesome. I also use bread, or pretty much anything else as a butter delivery device.

DS LOVES butter. If I put it on a roll, he will eat it off and then request more. Usually, I will just butter something once for him and that's all he gets but if he could just eat butter, he definitely would.
