Runners Are Discovering They Can Churn Butter on Their Runs—and It’s Surprisingly Easy

rolph: [delayed]

teach: This is amazing but even as a runner who loves to make my own "processed" food this really reads like a submarine article for the dairy industry."I used to be vegan, but you know I just can't liveeeeeeee without that real butter!!!!!!!"

wilg: The idea of butter being good doesn't strictly seem like it demands a conspiracy theory.

ok_dad: Some people call themselves vegans but will still use animal products that they feel are ethical. Also, some vegans do occasionally use animal products just because they want to.I don’t think it’s a conspiracy but it’s weird that the vegan topic even came up in this article because it is immaterial to the main topic.

teruakohatu: > “It was probably 40 degrees outside, but there’s a lot of heat going on in the back,”Would this is safe to do on a sunny warm weather? Would body heat plus the sun ruin the cream?

macintux: > This tracks with the science; according to Scientific American, room-temperature cream turns to butter much faster than cold cream because the molecules move more quickly at higher temperatures. Of course, if the temperature gets too high, everything will just melt, so their experiment probably wouldn’t have worked on a summer run.

bitwize: Of course she's from Oregon. This is close to the most Oregon activity imaginable.

SunshineTheCat: You know, I don't mean this to be rude in any way, but what kept going through my mind as I read this was "I wonder if they drive a Subaru Outback."And then I clicked the Instagram link and I'm almost positive that is a hunter green Subaru Outback.

KolmogorovComp: I assume they shamelessly were talking in Fahrenheit degrees.
