Billionaire and philanthropist Bill Gates recently backed a California-based startup called Savor that created a new type of butter made from air instead of cows.
The developers of this innovative creation claim that their unique product tastes just like real butter. They also claim it comes with a significantly lower carbon footprint which is fundamentally important for the battle against climate change.
One might wonder how anyone can make butter without milk. Savor claims its process involves using heat to combine carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and oxygen. By doing this, they say that they manage to create chains that mimic the fats of dairy products.
This unique thermochemical process makes the need for animal farming obsolete. Additionally, there is no need for fertilizers, hormones, or antibiotics normally used in the long process of butter production.
On its website, the California-based company writes:
Grecian Delight supports Greece “We start with a source of carbon, like carbon dioxide, and use a little bit of heat and hydrogen to form chains which are then blended with oxygen from the air to make the fats & oils we know, love and drool over.”
Gates and the environmental benefits of air butter So what is the point of having cows, you might ask, since we don’t need them anymore? Well, the company is not against cow farming. However, they believe that one of the main advantages of air butter is its potential to significantly reduce the environmental impact of dairy production that is not only associated with butter but also yoghurt, milk, cheese, and other products.
As we all know, livestock farming is one of the main contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, the global reduction of meat and dairy consumption is crucial for environmental sustainability.
Savor’s butter reportedly has a carbon footprint of less than 0.8 grams of CO2 equivalent per kilogram, compared to 16.9 kilograms for traditional butter.
In a blog post that he posted earlier this year online, Bill Gates passionately advocated for this innovation. The co-founder of Microsoft put his emphasis on the environmental benefits of Savor’s air butter.
He noted that the fact that water usage can be significantly reduced along with the near nullification of greenhouse gas emissions is a great advancement. Publicly supporting a bold start-up, Gates wrote:
“The process doesn’t release any greenhouse gases, and it uses no farmland and less than a thousandth of the water that traditional agriculture does. And most important, it tastes really good—like the real thing, because chemically it is.”
LOL!! I’m just old enough to remember that ad.
Bill Gates assures everyone that his air margarine goes well with maggots.
I dream of a day when Bill Gates is put in a cage and forced to eat the Frankenfood he is trying to force down our throats. Gates is a stone-cold control freak.
Sounds like what I would imagine is the process for Soylent Green.
Sounds more like a petrochemical than a food.
Yeah, well what are they going to do when we start running our of air?
That’s not butter any more than almond juice is “milk.”
Best I can imagine from this process is mineral oil.
They do.

The best was Arnold Ziffel.
Those writers must have been laughing themselves silly.
Does Bill Gates eat real food or fake ?
How much pollution does cause like making paper products uses 4 times the energy and pollutes 50 times the water compared to plastic products like straws , you’re lucky if their paper straw gets through one use ,LOL
It uses CO2.... Ironic.
They will intentionally destroy all life in the name of saving the Earth. This is far beyond any horror film from the Golden Age of Hollywood.
The whole theme of any Frankenstein story is the folly of humanity attempting to play God.
Frightful must it be; for supremely frightful would be the effect of any human endeavour to mock the stupendous mechanism of the Creator of the world.[26]26 — Quoted in Spark, 157, from Mary Shelley's introduction to the 1831 edition of Frankenstein.
He’s alone, now. Most bachelors eat like pigs.
Made with the cream from the cow that jumped over the moon
It’s NOT butter.
The fact that the journalist used the word “butter” makes me think this story is planted with bill gates money
How ‘bout clean water from filthy water, Bill?
That’s what people really need, not this Synth-Lube trash.
So hydrogenated oil, you know the cheap margarine stuff.
But does it taste like Kerry Gold? That’s the only butter that passes through my lips.
Yeah, it took me a number of years to convince my wife just how bad margarine is for your health. Real butter only now, or olive oil.
Gates wants us drinking poop water......
Why is a depopulation supporter so concerned with our health? I am not trying to control his life. I don’t want that piece of crap trying to control mine.
Also, he’s a rich man. There’s nothing preventing him from eating insects all the time. There’s nothing stopping him from drinking insect milk. There’s no reason he’s not drinking his poop water if it’s good for all of us. The weirdo can do his thing but say out of our business.
Yum yum.
Sorry, but haven't we already been down this road with the hydrologized(?) oil in margarine?
