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.

Really? I don't mind it as a substitute for baking, but for eating on bread or using it to fry something I don't think it comes even close to the flavor you get from real butter.

Oh, butter is better, sure, but my preferences are not mutually exclusive.

For example, I like salads without dressing, though salads with dressing taste better. Does that mean that we must ditch all salads without dressing? I hope not.
