Comment on Butter made from carbon tastes like the real thing, gets backing from Bill Gates
Dragomus@lemmy.world 1 week agoIt kind of sounds like the beginnings of star trek’s replicators…
But that aside, somehow I doubt those are the exact only “ingredients” they use.
And it wouldn’t surprise me at all if the end product contains all kinds of trace elements of various not so healthy chemicals used to get the parts to combine into the actual butter.
Like the process to get the glycerol or lecithin in a state they can use.
Ofcourse a lot of our dietary ingredients are contaminated in various levels anyway.

It makes me think of Enterprise, where they don’t have replicators but they do have protein resequencers, which can take waste matter and convert it into useful things, but they can’t do energy to matter conversion yet.
