“Headline is a lie. They aren’t making butter. At best, they’re making margarine.”
Butter is the fatty carbohydrate with animal protein (in low amounts, though) made from animal milk, plus any other additives (salt, coloring, etc.). If only Carbon Dioxide and Water are used, only the fatty carbohydrate can be made; they will have to add protein in some fashion, in order for it to be butter. Without that, it will be edible stripped down butter. Margarine is edible animal or vegetable fats or oils mixed with water and animal milk products and other added ingredients, to make a spreadable product. So, the product they’ll be making is closer to true butter than margarine.
SE quarter of US thinks cows live in the same place as unicorns.
I went on vacation a few years back and the further south and east I went the harder it was to find dairy. There was a coffee shop I stopped in that didnt have any cream, just a whole bunch of creamers. I asked in a couple of different restaurants for butter and they came walking back with a bottle of squeeze Parkay. Im guessing that somewhere down there are vast caves full of all of that crap the rest of us threw out in the 80s. I thought that garbage was banned by the Geneva convention or something.
I guess the 80s when people knew these things had proper names is a long time ago...
So if one of the researchers is kinda hefty and IDENTIFIES as a cow then Im pretty sure it legally counts as butter in the present day starting in Tennessee and going south east from there.
And that's just a few degrees in temperature and pressure from being Plastic...
Imitation margarine, to go on a fake London broil fresh from the biolab.
Bon Appétit!
Yes, and to make this margarine, they need a lot of energy!
Preferably from burning fossil fuels!
In bottom line, it will contribute to Co2 in atmosphere!
“At best, they’re making margarine.”
Until we see butter suppliers advertising “Tastes as good as margarine” then `ol Wild Bill’s BSButter isn’t going to make it out of the lab.
