My name is Lila, and I am a 16 year old who has been listening to Alex since it was Poplitics and I loved listening to her so much that when she rebranded, I kept listening! (And just as a side note, I have not eaten out once in the past month... I've been living on our farm fresh eggs, grass fed chickens, homemade raw-milk ice cream, and mock-milled flour!) But in all honesty, I did have pizza at a party... 🫣)

I would like to audition to be the butter influencer among my homeschooled friends. Based on the conversations we have had, here is our ROB domestic policy: If a man should ever propose, the engagement ring should be a sparkling butter colored gold so that when anyone may say, "I love your ring!" I will answer, "Thank you, it represents the beauty of both sponge bob and butter." But in the mean time, I am only 16, so a ring would still be several years away and a ROB sweatshirt would be a most helpful tool to explain the wonders of butter to my oat-milk pilled, toxic dye filled, microplastic mogging friends! 🧈🫶

I would love to be a ROB ambassador here in the (not so) great state of Nebraska. There are no seed oil free restaurants here, so my family eats out once a month, if that. Usually at Chipotle or a sushi restaurant.

I’m a homeschool mom, a lactation consultant (I was on Culture Apothecary last summer), and an early adapter to ROB (followed the day Alex asked if “anyone knows anything about this butter guy.”)

I’ve been on the real food, WAPF train since reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle back in 2008, and I think you and Alex are doing such a great job of bringing this message to the next generation of consumers.

Ok I’m not going to win any vibes awards for pointing out a grammatical error but it must be done! Just want ROB to maintain the standard of high quality that it’s held for so many years. So at the risk of angering you and your unpaid intern, I’ll point out that it should read “the fewer the better”, not “the less the better” when talking about restaurants visited this month. Now, I’ve actually been to three restaurants this month. But do I get extra points because one was 82 Acres in Portland, recommended by your intern? Hopefully!

Anyway, I’d be a great ROB ambassador because I live in a suburb of Dallas, where there’s a fast food chain on literally every corner. The people need some strong counter-messaging and I hope to provide that with some new ROB gear.

Thanks for your consideration and sorry for an annoying grammar correction! It’s simply because I respect the publication so deeply.

Sincerely,

Your friendly neighborhood double-amputee queer poet

I would like to be a ROB ambassador in WA state. I think the best ROB policy is to do whatever Joel Salatin recommends. As far as eating out, we ate out once this month. It was a restaurant with grass-fed beef, seed-oil free buns, and all their fries and burgers were cooked in tallow. For DEI points, I am a straight stay-at-home mom in WA state, making me a minority. My grandmother was also 1/2 Cherokee, making me 1/8 more Native American than Elizabeth Warren.

A question for you: how many ROB ambassadors do you have in the great New York City? Is there anyone spreading the great news of the butter gospel? Who is going to reach lost New Yorkers stuck in their seed oil ways? That’s right, I’m the only one for the job. Someone needs to start telling people of this city that it IS possible to live a non toxic life in a toxic af city. Soon people will be cheering on the streets for raw milk, local farms, organic mattresses, and turning off the WiFi at night as loudly as they cheered for the Knicks winning the championship. I will gladly champion this movement via sweatshirt.

Whilst grocery shopping with my new one-year-old, I gave her a stick of butter to hold to keep her happy (because we are butter people, NOT screen people). ANYWAY, I looked down about 2.7 minutes later and realized she had eaten HALF of the entire stick. That's like 600 calories in record time. She literally runs on butter so we'd rep your brand with both passion AND integrity.

My name is Sasha and I am applying to be butter babe cuteservative of the Southeast. If you’ve been to the region you're aware of the health and wellness shortcomings we face. What we lack in regenerative farming and pesticide protection we make up for in buttery biscuits and fried… well… everything. I am committed to changing the future for my six year old daughter and she is well on her way to igniting change herself. She and I had the privilege of meeting Mr. and to be Mrs. Butter in DC back in April as we protested against pesticide immunity… bringing me to my most important suggestion which would be to never back down. There is no corporation too big, government too corrupt, or chemicals too damaging to warrant quitting doing what is right. ROB and that other podcast about healing a sick culture ;) have been outspoken sharers of truth even when the truth is hard to hear. Keep fighting the good fight, for yourself, for the people, and for the future for our children. Your work is so appreciated!

P.S. We dined out a week ago with a group of homeschool friends and the community was the cherry on top!

Hi! This is Tina from Illinois (yes, Illinois, ugh). First of all, I would love to rep the blue ROB brand/sweatshirt here bc liberals need to feel the squeeze. Next, I love Alex and listen to Culture Apothecary, love Jesus and look really good in blue! (And of course I love butter). I also homeschooled my kiddos 😉. And… congratulations 🎉 on the upcoming nuptials 🙌🏼🥰 Forgot to add… I cook all our meals, unless dinner at my daughter’s house counts as eating out🤔😂.

I was from Illinois. Praying for ya!

I have a dealer. They're Amish and hand me raw milk for a pretty penny, but do you know what else they hand me? Butter. Freshly churned by hand. Even more yellow than the Irish dancing so-called butters in the grocery store. If you want to do business with me, know that I'm growing a baby in me. (Conceived due to the healthy vitamins my husband and I received from butter. This is our sixth baby. When we switched to a butter diet, yes, a butter diet indeed, our babies increasingly grew smarer. Coincidence? I think not.) The bigger I get, the more I'll stand out. A waddling butter ambassador. That bright blue? Even more of a stand out. Double whammy! Also, you must know, I'm married to a Reverend. In a world full of church potlucks where lies feasts of Pam cooking sprayed, nitrate heavy hot dogs, dessert tables saturated in food dyes on top of aluminum cardboard, bullion cubes of cancer, I will glow as the ambassador of your enterprise: The Butter Lady. "What does your hoodie say?" "Let me read it!" "Wow. What's so great about butter and red meat?" I'll say, hey, I know a guy. I'll wink at them and hand them your card. (This would be a good time to send me your card. Or Alex's. Either would suffice.)

Oh, and do I eat out? I eat out-side as I get my morning rays of sunshine. Ain't the real butter at my restaurants. Shoot.

I would like to win a ROB sweatshirt because I want to convert from exclusively wearing Taylor Swift sweatshirts and instead REP (see what I did there) some gear that more adequately expresses my lifestyle and the health forward beliefs I hold instead of just my neurotic fandom for Blondie. Thank you for your consideration.

Okay!

I am a Tennessee ROB representative. I accidentally ate out like 5 times last month😳. I adore grass fed butter. Especially on my sourdough made with freshly milled flower. Jesus is Lord. 🫡

The best way that I can describe my four year old daughter Clara, is that she is a vibe. Also, her favorite food is butter. Every time I am in the kitchen making anything, she says, “I want butter on my tongue!” Straight from the dish. She also loves occasional Saturday morning SpongeBob seshes with dad. I think she is just the vibe Alex (who mom is a huge fan of!) is looking for to receive some free butter merch.

I don’t know if it’s too late to enter for this but I just need to offer that I am the perfect ROB candidate for several reasons:

1. There are pictures of me eating sticks of butter as a toddler.

2. One of my son’s first words was “butter” , he too likes to steal it off the counter by the fistful

3. Butter is still my favorite fat, you might as well call me Paula Deen.

4. I currently own a tshirt that says butter on it

5. My husband HATES to read and I’ve been incessantly telling him to follow you because he too does not believe the standard narrative about cholesterol and listens to a lot of podcasts about it. I still keep trying to convince him to read though. He is my first protege.

6. I own a flour mill and have been obsessed with real food since my Italian grandma got me hooked on the Barefoot Contessa. Ingredients matter.

7. I have been listening to your unpaid intern since before you probably knew who she was haha

8. Downsides; no dei qualifications sadly

I live in AZ, so give the sweatshirt to someone who may use it.

76. The number of years LeBron has played 😂 And perhaps the number of times I’ve eaten out this month. Automatic disqualification… if we’re being technical.
