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.

Margarine is dangarous, it contain high amount of trans fat. Try to avoid it

where on earth did you get that nonsense from? the swedish food safety agency explicitly says that modern margarine contains basically no trans fat at all, and the primary source of trans fat is diary products

Ok ok you don't need this attitude. I wasn't aware of the 2018 FDA ban on trans fat.

i mean then maybe you shouldn’t make statements like that? just go look up the contents real quick before you hit post, and if it turns out it’s completely incorrect all you need to do is click cancel and go on with life
