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.

Awesome!! Keep the coal plants running and stick “Butter Scrubbers” right before the smoke stack. Lots of juice to run EVs and AI PLUS all the butter we can eat.
So, a cow on pasture is not sustainable, but a factory on the west side of Chicago is?
The supersecret ingredient can be called Soylent.
I think you could label this organic and non gmo..................................
The super secret ingredient is…Moderna vaccine
Just like margarine was supposed to help keeping up cardiovascular health. Makes for a decent paint emulsifier. Long live dairy cows 🐄 instead.
I asked Microsoft Copilot if this were possible and it said simply, “Not possible.”
I asked ChatGPT and it said, “Yes, in theory you could use massive amounts of energy, advanced equipment, and a few decades of chemical engineering know-how to make something chemically similar to butter from coal. In practice, it’s way easier to just go buy cream.”
LOL
Yup- it’s even butter than stone henge
“the first synthetic food was coal “butter” invented in 1937 and used by the Nazi’s to feed their U-boat crews.”
And 70% of them died within 10 years.🤔
They’re trying to wipe cows from the planet.

just like ethanol and ev are appropriate for certain situations. But big govt and big business see “one size fits all.”
The following from the article is worthy of reflection:
“In 1919 chemist Edwin Slosson offered an elegant explanation for why scientific prophecies fall short. Contemporary chemists were hoping to synthesize the taste, smell, and nutrition of natural foods, he wrote, in the way that a second-rate orchestra might try to mimic a first-rate philharmonic—by listening at the window as a hundred instruments combine in a delicate symphony. “Aha!” Slosson imagined the eavesdropper saying. “Fifty percent of the sound is made by the tuba, twenty percent by the bass drum, fifteen percent by the cello and ten percent by the clarinet. There are some other instruments, but they are not loud and I guess if we can leave them out nobody will know the difference.”
Yeah, I remember when margerine tasted just like butter.
Water...like from a toilet?
Butter...like from a pencil...that John Wick killed two people with?
Lot of hype. Very few facts. Avoid Savor like the plague !
Is this anogher depopulation scheme? Gates is really into that, above all other enthusiasms according to himself.
“If you think it’s butter, but it’s snot...”
“the first synthetic food was coal “butter” invented in 1937 and used by the Nazi’s to feed their U-boat crews.”
And 70% of them died within 10 years.🤔
Might be other factors to the statistic than butter. They all ate carrots also.
