In this episode, the 2Gs, our Gourmands and Geeks, Sadaf and Archit get together to chat about butter. They discuss:

• The documented history of butter
• Why do some parts of India consume more butter than others?
• Is butter healthy?
• Why are fats necessary for the human body?
• Amul butter’s genius marketing campaigns
• Why do economists care about butter?

So sit back, relax and drop a dollop of white makkhan on whatever you’re eating while you listen to this episode.
