It's true. We are idiots for jumping on the low carb high fat diet. To such a degree that we deplete the butter supply. Idiots!

And when the dairy manufacturers manage to produce enough to get some on the shelves we go totally crazy and buy as much as we can carry. Idiots!

Are the prices noted in the article close to correct? You're paying that much for a pound of butter?

We're idiots, but I think that comes from a humorous ad on Norway's equiv of ebay. So hopefully we're not that retarded :tup:

But, are the prices noted in the article about right? That's how much you're really paying for butter?

We actually have some of the same problem in Finland (and according to my knowledge in Sweden) too. Nothing dramatic, but the shelves for butter are occasionally empty in the stores, and the papers are writing about it.

I read that the problem is a combination of insane import tariffs and penalties for manufacturers overproducing. Danish dairies have bailed them out at a loss for the last couple of mythmases but have quite rightly told them to go fuck themselves this year. They just came begging to Iceland too. I think they got told to fuck off here too

I don't get what kind of stupid regulations they have...

I mean - I really could ship 1000 pounds of butter to Norway tomorrow, if only they would let it in, and I could sell it easily for 1/10th of the prices they mentioned in the article, and that would be me buying at retail. Give me a few days to make a deal with a wholesaler, and I'll have 10,000 pounds of butter in Norway by Christmas.

That'll teach 'em not to reject joining the EU - twice. :hmph:
Do we still have that mountain? but if we do, I quite agree, I don't get how Norway couldn't uy a few hills off of us... at prices suitably inflated for non EU trade partner, of course.

bad weather, the kine likely had fat poor milk, unsuitable for butter making (or with a low yield)
