Bill Gates is investing in this lab-grown butter that apparently tastes just like the real thing

You would have never guessed that Bill Gates was backing this new carbon-based butter, would you?

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. WWW.CBSNEWS.COM

https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/butter-carbon-bill-gates-batavia-illinois/

This stuff is being produced by Savor in the Chicago suburbs. The butter uses no animals, no plants, and no oils.

I simply cannot fathom the idea, so I'll quote Bill Gates' blog:

They ultimately developed a process that involves taking carbon dioxide from the air and hydrogen from water, heating them up, and oxidizing them to trigger the separation of fatty acids and then the formulation of fat. The result is real fat molecules like the ones we get from milk, cheese, beef, and vegetable oils.

Mix that fat with water and lecithin, and Voila, you've got butter. And it apparently tastes just like the real thing.

So we've now got lab-made butter backed by Bill Gates coming out of Chicago.

Essentially, this is "green" butter. No greenhouse gasses, no farmland, no animals -- just made in an industrial park in Chicago (though Savor is based in San Jose, California).

Science fiction, but real.

Here's more from Gates' 2024 blog post:

The idea of switching to lab-made fats and oils may seem strange at first. But their potential to significantly reduce our carbon footprint is immense. By harnessing proven technologies and processes, we get one step closer to achieving our climate goals.

Bill Gates loves this carbon-made butter, and Savor says it will be on shelves by 2027.

And that butter will have the same quality of Win-doze. Sorry, no soap...er...no ‘butter’.
Eat bugs, Gates.

It would be nice to get those Epstein files. When we learn Gates was raping dozens of 15 year-olds on his adventures with Epstein, we can drove this sicko and his assaholic ideas from the public square.

“”Bill Gates loves this carbon-made butter, and Savor says it will be on shelves by 2027.””

I don’t want anything that Gates is producing and/or selling... or even giving away for “free”. Anyone that does is a complete and utter fool.

I've read more real science fiction.

No greenhouse gases? What do they power the plants with?

None used to manufacture the equipment or extract the CO2 from the air and H from the water?

How do the employees get to and from work? Walking without breathing?

Is it in the form of a “vaccine”?

Gates wants to eliminate the need for cows. Won’t work.

he Heechee Saga, also known as the Gateway series, is a science fiction series by Frederik Pohl.

In this series, humans are so numerious, they are foced to eat C H O M food.

Synth food made by combinations of carbon, H2, Oxygen and methane. Seems like he was really ahead of his time - the first story hit print in 1972.

Anyone who knowingly ingests anything from Bill Gates Laboratories is an expendable lab rat in his eyes.

I still haven’t seen a nutritional profile of this stuff, or how it compares with real butter.

“it will be on shelves by 2027”

-

And a lot like fake meat, that’s where it will stay......on the grocery store shelves.
