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.

Vegan butter has tasted very good, both with their own tastes but also others tasting just like "normal" butter for years now.

I ate margarine since forever, way before veganism was a thing. It's just a product that was cheaper than butter and it tasted good.
