Butter made from carbon tastes like the real thing, gets backing from Bill Gates
CBS ^ | 08 06 2025 | Tara Molina

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.

Tara Molina and CBS are the exemplary imbeciles, both individually and collectively. The prospect of forming lipids, long-chain acidic esters of glycerol from methane/propane (natural gas) and hydrogen (from electrolysis of water) belongs to fairytales but not to any chemical knowledge. No mercy for idiots bankrolling this bunch of crooks company.

I’ve used Kerrygold in tubs, for the past 7-8yrs. Best damned butter, anywhere.

It is the best, and the tub is the only way to go — it’s so smooth and creamy. I still use the unsalted KG sticks to cook, but the tub is amazing to spread on almost anything.

My-— WHAT an “attractive” woman (who looks like a man with a man’s Adams apple throat).... works for SEE Bee ESS— that’s some real gender identified salesmanship.

1.) She can’t and does not cook.
2.) She can’t and will not—think.
3.) Has a voice like fingernails on a blackboard.

Equals— utter synthetic NONsense, backed by NEO Nazi for real Billy Boy Gates, whose primary remaining goal in live is population control by corporate products which... murder people by marketed suicide. What could go wrong—? See: Windows the asphalt patched “road” of the internet, which started as... a dirt road. Patch Patch Patch— correct, non-correct and ... FORCE YOU to buy their crapola forever. Still doing it, and rapidly being reduced to zip.

The biochemistry of this “product” comes from 1937 from one of the few jews and their families who were “Aryanized” by Hitler for their- invention to help the Nazi war machine. To no avail- as the rest of their kin were rendered to soap from— their own fat (again, another biochemistry wonder from the Master Race). Bill Gates is simply a pimply little a@@hole with permanent delusions of his “greatness”. And look where he lives now, having dumped the dyke/tranny wife.

Just so. In fact, this reminds me of the snack food companies using olestra:

Well, there you go. If the top assistant for the Grim Repper is for it, how you possibly go wrong...
