When I was working on my doctorate, one of my cohort (all of whom were young enough to be my children, some were actually younger than my actual child) got all hysterical over my leaving some butter out of the grad student fridge (MY butter, mind you) so it would soften up enough to spread on my roll for lunch. She went and complained to somebody in the office about me leaving food out "to rot". (I was NOT kidding when I used the word "hysterical")
I was flabbergasted. I have since heard similar opinions re the "rottability" of butter from more recent generations of human beings in this country. Younger folks these days seem to have some odd ideas about food safety.
