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.

They will "enrich it" like the do with bread and other highly processed product with non bio digestable supplements for propaganda purposes.

The article mentions that they added vit A so it gets the yellow color and I'm pretty sure they're not going to add CLA or other vitamins to be competitive with butter.

Meanwhile there's a cheap food supplement that you can give cows that reduces methane burping by 90%.
