Starting this blog off with a basic poll.
There seem to be multiple definitions of what certain foods belong to what group according to a few different sources, so assume:
Meat = muscle, flesh, organs, or something that was a part of an animal
Dairy = mammal milk and foods made from it
Vegetables = a plant; the thing that is eaten contains no seeds
Fruit = a plant; the thing that is eaten contains seeds
Grains = not a vegetable or a fruit but a secret third thing. usually made into flour or similar
Other = whatever other food group that doesn't really fit into the above categories

Back in 1943, butter was its own food group.
With wartime rationing in place, the USDA wanted to make sure Americans were getting enough vitamins and not concentrating their calorie intake on any one food. At the time, butter was thought to be a healthy fat that provided a good source of Vitamin A, so it made sense to urge people to eat some of it every day.

She probably helped that girl solve her teen sexuality dilemma anyway, because if that were me and I asked an adult for advice only to find out the adult’s not only worse off than me but also the dumbest person alive, I’d accept the lesbianism just to get out of the awkward situation...
