Bill is going to be serving this on all his jets and yachts
So when I poop the carbon butter out, how long does it take to decompose? Because unless we make one of those nuclear waste containment salt bunkers for all. the butter carbon poop this kinda seems like a dumb idea.

I've heard that people made from carbon taste like the real thing too, you all should try it!
From the description I cannot in a million years assume that it tastes anywhere near butter. And where's the buttery taste going
"Fat molecules chemically identical to those in butter". I'll wait until I hear more third party people try it or I do myself.
Of course not. They've made artificial fat, not butter. BIG difference
water, lecithin as an emulsifier, flavor and color
Why not just make a fuel that can power cars if you're gonna go this far.
@MuskyMelon @Gsus4 hydrogen probably.. just need further development, I think we are in a technologic race, battery is still winning but it can change..

You can get a hydrogen car today. Just that if you're outside a few places like Japan and California, finding a fueling station might be a bit difficult.

Sales in Japan began on 15 December 2014 at ¥6.7 million (~US$57,400) at Toyota Store and Toyopet Store locations. The Japanese government plans to support the commercialization of fuel-cell vehicles with a subsidy of ¥2 million (~US$19,600).[12] Retail sales in the U.S. began in August 2015 at a price of US$57,500 before any government incentives. Deliveries to retail customers began in California in October 2015.[13] Toyota scheduled to release the Mirai in the Northeastern United States in the first half of 2016.[14] As of June 2016, the Mirai was available for retail sales in the UK, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, and Norway.[15] Pricing in Germany started at €60,000 (~US$75,140) plus VAT (€78,540).[16]

They do fuel up a lot faster than BEVs do, but the fuel cost is considerably higher than for BEVs.
cost :/ and low energy conversion efficiency. Whereas expensive novelty edibles may have a high price, fuels, not so much.
Honestly, I'm mostly wondering about the nutrition factor. Not that you expect much from butter, but we all know this will be slipped into other things, just like hfcs.

Mmmmm. Nom nom!
My #1 fear of this... I'm sure they'll fix it:
(Yes, I used AI to make that. "Black Butter" is also apparently real and actually looks super tasty!)

So Bill Gates invented margarine?
Isn't margarine hydrogenated oil? These guys made the oil, apparently.
