Not butter, I believe, but margarine. During WWII, butter was truly scarce
and was replaced largely by white margarine. It looked a lot like lard and
was considered a poor man's substitute for the real thing. Adding food
coloring to the margarine to disguise it as butter was considered a socially
necessary lie in some circles.
