French cuisine is universally lauded but is almost entirely based on cooking everything in lots of butter. Butter makes things very tasty. For everyday use, certainly cut back, but if you're eating out, spoil yourself. That said, anecdotally (and may well be wrong on this point), Americans tend to eat out a lot more, and accordingly in more homely restaurants, than British people, so yes in that case keep an eye out and have a salad occasionally.

I was mid 30s when I first saw part of a Paula Deen cooking show, and it explained the state of the people I was seeing around the country. She was throwing sticks of butter and cups of sugar into things left and right.
