This fallacy is called an appeal to tradition.
Just because something is fallacy the way it was presented does not make it wrong if he facts check out :)
Your facts don't check out, that's what makes you wrong. Fallacies are just the symptom.
Is butter not the best product in its class? both from health ie nutrition value and taste perspective?
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.
I am just going with ol realiable
y'all have fun testing another "product"
This is called the fallacy of being a dope.
I trust you bro
"Bro", butter is literally just a hydrocarbon. As in carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms.
Making it in the lab produces chemically identical molecules.
As in, literally the same thing. Like actually for real no difference. Including however bad or healthy it is to eat.
Any nuances in the real thing will be from impurities that would have to be added to the lab produced stuff, should you want to.
The real difference is how it is made, not in what it produces. Meaning the synthetic option can be produced without livestock, and potentially using much less energy and land.
*hydrocarbon, not carbohydrate (the latter contains oxygen). Otherwise spot on.
Thanks.
🤡🤡🤡
If you want to be pedantic, straight out of the lab this stuff would be equivalent to "clarified butter". Butter, from which all impurities have been removed.
Still butter tho.
So headline is a bit of PR voodoo as i expected.
Big food companies has made a lot of afford to discredit butter and eggs since these foods are very good and cheap, aka processed food industry's main competition.
Don't trust them. Read the article, use your brain, and understand why your comments are wrong.
Yes daddy
What are you, 12?
