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.

Is it as bad for your health as hydrogenated oils?

Even if it is -- I'm interested in seeing how it performs. Feed some rats 3-5x the recommended amount, see what happens. Have some long term studies.

If it is the same as what we use, right now, for a lessened cost or environmental impact, that is still worth exploring.
