Butter from a grass-fed cow is a good option (Kerrygold is a common grass-fed brand, standard butter is not much better than margarine, which is to say, bad). Your mayo is probably made from soybean or corn oil, which is to say, bad. Make your own from olive or flax oil for a much better option.

Other ways of getting good fats are: avocado, cooking with coconut oil, omega-3 eggs, grass-fed meats, fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, black cod or sardines) and grass-fed cheeses (I like buffalo mozzarella, which I make a caprese out of).
I get olive oil mayo. Oh yeah, I forgot I was going to try to eat more Avocado. Do you know why grass fed everything is better (Other than "sounding" healthier)? As far as milk - I eat cereal and milk in the morning because it is fast. I can't stand the taste of whole milk though.
