A California-based startup called Savor has figured out a unique way to make a butter alternative that doesn’t involve livestock, plants, or even displacing land. Their butter is produced from synthetic fat made using carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and the best part is —- it tastes just like regular butter.

        Your facts don’t check out, that’s what makes you wrong. Fallacies are just the symptom.

            Not anymore. This product matches butter on both counts and puts out much less pollution and takes up much less land than factory farming. I urge you to actually read the article, many of your points are addressed within.

                “Bro”, butter is literally just a hydrocarbon. As in carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms.

                Making it in the lab produces chemically identical molecules.

                As in, literally the same thing. Like actually for real no difference. Including however bad or healthy it is to eat.

                Any nuances in the real thing will be from impurities that would have to be added to the lab produced stuff, should you want to.

                The real difference is how it is made, not in what it produces. Meaning the synthetic option can be produced without livestock, and potentially using much less energy and land.

                Don’t trust them. Read the article, use your brain, and understand why your comments are wrong.
