Sounds like anticompetitive political corruption by the dairy industry; I can't imagine how that protects consumers.

Do you also have a problem with ground peanut spread being called "peanut butter"?

I don't think it was anticompetitive reasons although the end result was that I believe it was farmers created a market for butter that margarine would benefit from.

As for PB I'm not a dairy farmer.
