Another anecdote telling - real butter doesn't make you fat.
Yeah sure... The long-standing obesity rates in southern states has nothing to do with butter being the baseline sauce on everything
It probably has to do with margarine being the base ingredient for butter.
<insert that weird 90s auntie video of margarine butter recipe>
Oh and also, the choice to inhale tobacco smoke(and make others do so) in your free time, rather than exercise the muscles near fatty regions.
It does if you eat enough of it
It's very difficult to over-eat saturated fat because absorption requires bile, and there is a limited amount in the gall bladder. My understanding is that eating more than you can absorb results in it going right through you.
As a general rule sugars are more of an issue than fats, because fats sate hunger while sugar does not. Butter doesn't make you fat because you don't eat enough of it to
I used to eat whole bags (2-300 grams) of chips/crisps. Whatever satiating effect fat might have is easily counteracted with glutamate and aromas. I'll overeat on practically anything it it's tasty, high calourie and easy to get.
I know that chips/crisps don't contain butter, but I hope you're not seriously telling me that they would be significantly more satiating if they were made with butter instead of vegetable oil.
You'd be in for a surprise...
There is this thing called clarified butter (Ghee) and you can actually cook in it (not affordably though, as any good quality one would be in Olive oil like category).
I tend to try it out a few times (because it is still way cheaper than eating out, where they would still use palmoline despite their markup) when I am free and although heat control can be tricky depending upon the Ghee source and target recipe, it can make a great difference.
