Bill Gates-backed startup makes ‘butter’ out of water and carbon dioxide (www.zmescience.com)

A California-based startup called Savor has figured out a unique way to make a butter alternative that doesn’t involve livestock, plants, or even displacing land. Their butter is produced from synthetic fat made using carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and the best part is —- it tastes just like regular butter.

Yeah, never heard that one before. Weird how every non-whatever replacement foodstuff tastes just like the original... literally 0% of the time.

There are some decent replacements, I was amazed by the vegan foie from hello plan foods. Almost all the taste without the horrible feeling of guilt.

For foie specifically, it's worth to try to find alternatives due to the creation process of the original being so bad that it's basically banned outside of Spain and France.

Yeah I'm a meat eater and I wouldn't touch foie gras. Fucking horrible
