^ that's not butter
A Prostitute isn’t real love but it works for me
How much did that cost? Not the butter!
Seriously this is why Trump won. The idiocy out there is astounding. Do they really think an image on a butter container leads to sex trafficking? Really?
I know a guy who used to refer to them as would be's....

And by the way. Who gave her the right to determine the sex of the Indian on the butter box?
Wait. Are you implying that Mr. Clean is a black man who bleached himself white?
Remember Sambo’s restaurant with the story of little black sambo on the menu and walls?
Or ever read Tom Sawyer?
We’re too easily offended today, often not because we’re offended but because we think we should be offended because we expect that someone else might be offended.

I'd agree, but I think the key is that one has to be seen to be offended because we expect ...
Not to their face I'ma bet.
Being offended is often confused with being Right. They ain't the same!
There has never been a single time, not once, in my entire life, that I have looked at a box of landolakes butter and said "Wow...she sexy...I am objectifying her as a sexual object."
On the contrary, when I was a kid my first thought was "Whoa...an Indian makes this...has to be good cuz indians are good and stuff."
Yeah, I have never been all that bright.

Always wondered about that gold earring.Wait. Are you implying that Mr. Clean is a black man who bleached himself white?
Honestly can't confirm nor deny. I can say I have Lumbee in my heritage. There's a street in Lumberton that bears my last name.
Well...it's not as if cattle (milk cows or otherwise) are native to North America in the first place. Nor was butter a thing here before Europeans started shipping themselves here.

My mom always wanted to know what happened to her butter boxes and why they kept disappearing. I was like mom, the internet hasn't been invented yet and I thought I'd change up from wanking it to Nat Geo and the underwear section of the Sears catalog and get native.

Back in the 60's..if you ate some of that Imperial margarine a crown would pop up on your head.^ that's not butter
This still drives them crazy, and every few years they attempt, again, to get the book changed.
So hung up on the terminology of the day, the actual story escapes them. How a young misfit and a slave..both outcasts..traverse hardships together without regard to color and become best friends is the story you tard, not the n word.
Yeah well the problem with that is it is just a word. It has no more power than that given to it by those who hear it.
For those of you waving the boycott banner please remember that LoL is the victim here. The snowflake brigade turned their ire on a package of butter and the company pivoted, without a word to the negative, apparently to avoid the bad press, and just did something else. That's it. I seriously don't understand the "I won't buy it anymore" reaction. It was a fight they couldn't win and could easily avoid. Could someone enlighten me?

ARDEN HILLS, Minn. (Feb. 6, 2020) – Farmer-owned cooperative Land O’Lakes, Inc. has unveiled new packaging for the company’s consumer-facing LAND O LAKES® products featuring the farmers who are the foundation of the cooperative’s membership.
The new packaging will show up in a variety of ways, including through a new front-of-package design that features the phrase “Farmer-Owned” above the LAND O LAKES brandmark, “Since 1921” below it and a vibrant illustration of land and lakes. Some products, including stick butter, will also include photos of real Land O’Lakes farmers and co-op members and copy that reads “Since 1921” and “Proud to be Farmer-Owned: As a farmer-owned co-op, we stand together to bring you the very best in dairy.”
Land O’Lakes was founded by a group of Minnesota dairy farmers in 1921, and as it approaches its 100th anniversary in 2021, the co-op has reflected on its treasured history and made the decision to showcase its greatest strength—its farmers.
“As Land O’Lakes looks toward our 100th anniversary, we’ve recognized we need packaging that reflects the foundation and heart of our company culture—and nothing does that better than our farmer-owners whose milk is used to produce Land O’Lakes’ dairy products,” said Beth Ford, President and CEO, Land O’Lakes.
“As a farmer-owned co-op, we strongly feel the need to better connect the men and women who grow our food with those who consume it,” Ford said. “Our farmer-to-fork structure gives us a unique ability to bridge this divide.”
Over the past few years, Land O’Lakes has launched a number of marketing initiatives to better tell its farmer-owned story. Specific to the Dairy Foods business, the company partnered with country music star Maggie Rose in a remake of the classic song “Old MacDonald Had a Farm.” The remake, called “SHE-I-O,” featured Land O’Lakes member farms in Rose’s music video. Member farms and farmers have starred in several other videos highlighting the strength of the cooperative model and centered around the Land O’Lakes’ tagline, All Together Better™.
“Research shows that consumers care about farmers and are excited when they learn Land O’Lakes is farmer-owned. We’re eager to share that message with shoppers and extending that farmer-owned story to our packaging is arguably our most direct vehicle to communicate with consumers,” said Heather Anfang, Senior Vice President, Land O’Lakes U.S. Dairy Foods.
The new packaging has already started to appear on tub butter spreads, foodservice products and deli cheese, and will begin appearing on stick butter in spring/summer 2020. The new farmer-owned packaging is expected to be fully rolled out across LAND O LAKES® products by the end of 2020.

Can you confirm or deny that the streets in Lumberton are numbered because there aren't enough Lumbeee last names to cover all the roads there? Seems like there really are only a few names...
Maybe if Miramanee (Star Trek: The Paradise Syndrome) were on the carton:
I’m willing to bet that James T Kirk hit that, both onscreen and off.

Lowry. There was a family of that name living in Caswell County years ago. May still be there. I knew two brothers from the family. Really good guys that would give you the shirt off of their backs but I believe I’d rather sandpaper a lion’s arse than end up on their bad side!
