A tweet by Maria Stephanos with a photo of the way she cuts butter started a debate in which people shared their opinions on this topic. “I know. It’s wrong. My family hates it and I’ve been doing it for years, but please tell me at least one of you cuts your butter this way… Anybody?” she posted.

The comment section includes hundreds of opinions of people who wanted to weigh in on the topic. “I’d need a separate stick of butter than you if we lived in the same house,” one commenter wrote. “This is blasphemy,” added another one.

Others agreed with Stephanos. “I do most of the time. It is easier and then it is ready for corn on the cob,” a woman named Deb LaValley wrote.

Today contacted a cooking expert Lisa McManus of America’s Test Kitchen who confirmed this is the superior way of cutting butter, as ugly as it may look. She explains how she always forgets to take her butter out of the fridge up front so this is the best way to get a thin slice for the toast.

You’ll feel bloated

You might feel bloated and even get constipated because your body is not used to digesting meat. If you’re eating meat for the first time in a long time, only try a small piece. Add digestive enzymes such as papaya.

You might get heartburn

Your stomach might hurt after eating meat because it doesn’t know how to digest it. This might result in heartburn, especially if the meat is high in fat. Fat leaves the stomach slower than proteins or carbs, so your digestion will feel different.

You’ll get full faster

Meaty meals make you feel fuller than a meat-free diet. You might even lose some weight because of this. Meat also takes a lot longer for your digestive system to break down than fruit and vegetables.
