A California-based biotechnology startup has officially launched the world's first commercially available butter made entirely from carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and oxygen, eliminating the need for traditional agriculture or animal farming. Savor, backed by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates through his Breakthrough Energy Ventures fund, announced the commercial release of its animal- and plant-free butter after three years of development.

The revolutionary product uses a proprietary thermochemical process that transforms carbon dioxide captured from the air, hydrogen from water, and methane into fat molecules chemically identical to those found in dairy butter. According to the company, the process creates fatty acids by heating these gases under controlled temperature and pressure conditions, then combining them with glycerol to form triglycerides.

I assumed "GMO goodness" was more than low bar enough.
How on earth is he going to process the scientific explanation in the article?

sukhmel probably assumed you meant that you were parodying someone who hates artificial foods and GMOs and did not actually hate them yourself

Do you? Because you sound like some of the arguments I've heard from conservatives/cowbrains when I've talked about not eating meat and trying substitutes.

Like it would take very little effort to make this sound like part of an Alex Jones rant, talk about the nutrition aspect and transition into a lazy ad pivot and you're basically there.

TF are you going on about conservatives, Alex Jones and whatever?
That's some rambling associated with inhabitants of the US banana republic and their fanatic fixation on making everything about them and their 2 sides of the Uniparty.
"Someone in the world doesn't like GMO's, that's also side B's stance and automatically bad!"
"What, Side B says the sun comes up in the east? If they say it it must be in the west!"

Simplistic ridiculous campist thinking.
Really I hope both of your camps burn that joke of a country to the ground and disappear.
Bye now
