Butter made from carbon tastes like the real thing, gets backing from Bill Gates

A company in Batavia, Illinois is making butter in a way you've never seen before. No animals, no plants, no oils; this butter is made from carbon.

The sustainability-focused approach has the blessing and backing of Bill Gates.

It looks, smells and tastes like the butter we all know, but it's made without the farmland, fertilizers or emissions tied to the typical process.

This unprecedented process is happening at the facilities of Savor in an industrial park in the suburbs west of Chicago.

"So you're using this gas right now to cook your food and we're proposing that we would like to first make your food with— with that gas," said Kathleen Alexander, co-founder and CEO of Savor.

The company's pioneering tech uses carbon and hydrogen to make sticks of butter that anyone would recognize.

"This is pretty novel, to be able to make food that looks and tastes and feels exactly like dairy butter, but with no agriculture whatsoever," said Jordan Beiden-Charles, food scientist for Savor.

And without a long ingredient list the average person can't pronounce.

"It's really just our fat, some water, a little bit of lecithin as an emulsifier, and some natural flavor and color," Beiden-Charles said.

This is how it works: Fats are made up of carbon and hydrogen chains. The goal is to replicate those chains without animals or plants. And they did it.

To put it in simple terms, Savor says they take carbon dioxide from the air and hydrogen from water, heat them up, oxidize them and get a final result that looks like candle wax but is in fact fat molecules like those in beef, cheese or vegetable oils.

‘ The sustainability-focused approach has the blessing and backing of Bill Gates’

That in itself disqualifies it as anything good for human consumption.

Most dairy cows are not raised in feedlots. I guess this idiot thinks that millions of bison were a bad thing environmentally. We'd have never had the soils of the Great Plains without them.

If Bill Gates is for it, I am against it.

And it really doesn’t matter what the topic is.

“Natural flavor and color”.

What does that mean, really?

BTW Bill Gates is a psychotic maniac.

100% it’s not butter, if push came to shove I would buy some heavy cream and make my own butter before I would eat carbon butter.

Actually, Hitler developed this too. Seriously. That's all you need to know.

Just something else that the body doesn’t know how to process. It will build up in your arteries until you die.
