Question

What state banned Margarine for 72 years to protect their dairy farmers? 

Answer 1

Wisconsin was the only state to ban the sale of margarine for 72 years, from 1895 to 1967. This was done to protect their dairy farmers and the dairy industry in the state.

Answer 2

The state that banned Margarine for 72 years to protect their dairy farmers is Wisconsin, located in the United States. In 1895, Wisconsin passed a law that made the sale of colored margarine illegal, as it was made to look like butter and was seen as a direct competition to the state's dairy industry. The law also required that all white margarine should be sold in a separate package with a warning label indicating that it was not butter. This ban on margarine continued until 1967 when it was eventually lifted. Wisconsin remains a major producer of dairy products and is home to the famous dairy brand, "Wisconsin Cheese".
