Bill Gates-backed startup makes ‘butter’ out of water and carbon dioxide (www.zmescience.com)

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.

Yeah, never heard that one before. Weird how every non-whatever replacement foodstuff tastes just like the original... literally 0% of the time.

Butter is one of the few that I legitimately can’t tell the difference between the real thing and the vegan alternatives (some of them).

Cheese is the opposite. Not only have a never had a vegan cheese that tasted like real cheese, I’ve never had a vegan cheese that tasted good.

Un-Brie-lievable is one of the only great vegan cheeses I've had (expensive as hell though)
