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.
There's fat in CO2 and H2? I knew it! You can gain weight just by breathing and drinking water.
He can eat it
He can stick it.
Gates is also developing green dildos to make them taste like the real thing. So far he claims they only taste like fish.
Precisely my point. There is actually a more significant pre-historic indicator involving the same vegetative/microbial principles, but the source of that record is not germane to the current discussion.
Soylent Green.
Isn’t this and synthetic meat made from immortal cell lines from a cancer taken from Henrietta Lacks abnormal cervical cancer?
No! Just NO!
Could they use it for axel greese? Or Chassis lube?
Go to hell, Gates.
It may taste like butter, but just knowing it isn’t & knowing the ingredients suggests it may not be safe for consumption.
What’s wrong with the butter we have?
It comes from a cow..................
I’d much rather eat real butter from a cow that from a machine that you don’t know the last time it was cleaned...........
I have an idea for a great place to put a carbon footprint!
Or other ‘lube’?......................
