If they could make fat disappear into thin air, then they’d have something.

Headline is a lie. They aren’t making butter. At best, they’re making margarine.

There's a reason God made cows and goats and sheep and cattle and chickens and pigs.

He was writing a menu....

This sounds just like the “Crude oil from turkey offal” that was being touted several years ago.

False hope fomented by big money. Besides, would YOU personally trust ANYTHING pushed by Mr. Gates since his true nature has been revealed?

“...thermochemical process...”

Doesn’t sound very appetizing, or good for the environment, either.

Psychopath Bill Gates the enemy of Real Food

Nope.

No more miracle breakthroughs from Bill Gates.

If he actually wanted to do something worthwhile, he’d put all his billions into production of clean water. All this other garbage is ego-driven showboating and potentially population-reducing.

AKA hydrogenation. AKA, Oleo. AKA Margarine.

But throw on the “green friendly” stamp of approval and the Whole Foods crowd will buy it up.

I guarantee you the psychotic Bill Gates eats only the finest real food. If he eats any junk food it’s a few favorites that he learned to like it as a kid. There will be no frankenmeat or bug kibble on his table.

“Headline is a lie. They aren’t making butter. At best, they’re making margarine.”

Butter is the fatty carbohydrate with animal protein (in low amounts, though) made from animal milk, plus any other additives (salt, coloring, etc.). If only Carbon Dioxide and Water are used, only the fatty carbohydrate can be made; they will have to add protein in some fashion, in order for it to be butter. Without that, it will be edible stripped down butter. Margarine is edible animal or vegetable fats or oils mixed with water and animal milk products and other added ingredients, to make a spreadable product. So, the product they’ll be making is closer to true butter than margarine.
