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.

        It is also a fact that butter is a staple food that has been used for thousands of years with a proven track record.

              Your facts don’t check out, that’s what makes you wrong. Fallacies are just the symptom.

                  Not anymore. This product matches butter on both counts and puts out much less pollution and takes up much less land than factory farming. I urge you to actually read the article, many of your points are addressed within.

          This may be a logical fallacy known as false equivalence, when one fact is stated or implied to be conflated with another not directly related fact.

          So is any meat, mayonnaise, even butter is processed. Ever went into a fast food chain? Most ingredients are processed to the bits.

          You better not take any medicine, that super processed? And Coca cola or any energy drinks? Bleh, made in labs!

          I guess you only eat whole grains collected by you, that must suck.

      I wrote it’s not made to be more healthy, because that’s the current marketing of butter alternatives. This isn’t claiming to be more healthy. The compounds are the same as the fatty acids in butter.

      It’s simply a way to get butter while reducing carbon dioxide, rather than increasing it.

      If it’s chemically identical, what does it matter if it’s come from dairy, this process, or a Star Trek replicator?

      Good or bad, it’s still processed food.

      That’s my half-assed neutral statement. I choose not to eat processed foods. As long as there’s disclosure, I don’t care.

      What people eat or don’t eat is their business.
