    No, I can’t. I just…can’t.

    I’ve seen experts. I’ve seen counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, biologists, zoologists, veterinarians, chemists, chefs, ranchers, farmers, etc., but I’m still at a loss.

    I raised that cow myself. I milked it. I churned the…I churned it. I packed it into bricks and brought it to market. When it was returned, I could tell it was the same product I sold. I submitted it to labs and while the samples matched the reserves of the product I had been keeping, the labs said it wasn’t butter. Everyone told me to just let it go, but I couldn’t. I mean, it had to be butter, right?

    I poured over hours of surveillance footage to see if it had been switched out. Nope. I had the cow’s milk tested. Yep, just normal cow’s milk.

    I don’t understand. I won’t accept it. I can’t…I just can’t…I can’t believe it’s not butter.
