Wisconsin

The state of Wisconsin, which you probably know better for its cheese, actually has a complicated and interesting history with butter. After margarine was invented in the late 1800's, state legislators passed a bill banning the yellow-tinted product, which looked exactly like butter. The substitute was banned all the way until 1967, although today restaurants are still banned from serving margarine if they don't also offer butter. Also, prisons and schools are required to serve real butter, unless otherwise specified by doctors citing health reasons. Hey—it could be worse!
