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.

actual margarine is getting hard to find in stores around here, and when you do it's priced almost as high as a non-sale price of real butter. margarine has 80% fat content and similar baking and cooking properties as butter.

what's on store shelves is a cheapened, watered down product laced with extra chemicals and fillers, ranging from 25-40% oil and can't even make a proper box of mac & cheese. some of them don't even melt when put on toast, hot, right from the toaster.
