So they invented another kind of margarine.

No, they invited another kind of cow.
Did the cow accept their invitation?

BUT
I do like a little bit of butter to my bread!"
I'm not hungry.
I mean cool, but if farts release CO2 after digestion breaks down fats and proteins, then it's not much of a carbon sink, is it? Not to mention the scale necessary to reverse climate change. We'd have to make billions of barrels of the stuff, then pump it deep underground for long term sequestration. It'll be so energy intensive we'll require nuclear fusion.
Dead serious, I say we do it.
so what i don't get is how any margarine could have the same flavour as butter without adding in some sort of protein and presumably a bit of sweetener, considering that butter is fat/milk protein/milk sugar (lactose)..
You can obviously get close enough (i mostly eat margarine), the non-fat content of butter is very small after all, but still surely you have to add those things to get that extra kick of flavour that butter has?
This isn’t margarine. Margarine is made from hydrogenated vegetable oil. This process allegedly creates the same hydrocarbon chain fatty acids found in butter.
what it's made from is utterly and completely irrelevant, both margarine and butter are primarily just fat. My point is that i don't see how you can replicate the precise flavour of butter with only fat.
