すずまりの日本語「ききみみ」ずきん

第33話　探しものは何ですか

There are many types of dairy alternatives on the market today, often made from things like nuts and soybeans.

But have you heard they're now making butter from air?

A US startup called Savor is working on a range of dairy alternatives made using something that exists all around us: carbon.

Fats are made from chains of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Savor's process involves taking carbon — from, say, carbon dioxide — and adding heat and hydrogen to create chains that are combined with oxygen from air.

This results in fat molecules, like the ones found in dairy and other animal products.

Now, regular butter is about 80% fat — the rest is mostly water. So to make butter from its synthetic fat, Savor just adds water, as well as an emulsifier that keeps the liquids from separating, and rosemary oil for flavor and beta carotene for color.

What does it taste like?

"I couldn't believe I wasn't eating real butter," Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates wrote in a blog post earlier this year. Gates is one of Savor's investors.

He wrote that "it tastes really good — like the real thing, because chemically it is."

Savor has already run informal taste tests with small groups of people, and is working to get regulatory approval for its product in the US.

But why butter?

A 2021 study estimated that food production makes up about 35% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions — and Savor estimates that about 7% of greenhouse gas emissions are just from producing fat.

But Savor's process, Gates wrote, doesn't release any greenhouse gases. He added that it uses no farmland and "less than a thousandth of the water that traditional agriculture does."

Savor is focusing on butter to start with partly because its high price point makes it easier to compete on cost. But the startup later hopes to develop other products like milk, ice cream, cheese — even meat.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【恢复能量】的话题。大家有没有这样的经历？有时候会觉得情绪低落，做什么都打不起精神来。这种情绪可能只是短暂的，这里有一些方法可以帮助你恢复能量。
有几件恢复能量的小事。第一件，和植物待一会。无论街边的树，家里的绿植，还是野外的花，都会让你感受到植物的宁静和能量。
第二件，向上看，再向上看。人类在向上看时会产生愉悦感。我们看向云朵，看向天空，眼光瞬间开阔。
第三件，自己待4分33秒。可以是家、公司、公园，闭上眼睛，打开计时器，倒数4分33秒，明显会放松，让人恢复力量。
第四件，轻松洗个澡。不管多么烦恼和焦虑，洗完澡好像坏心情通通不见了，格外舒展。
其实幸福来自小事，顺境中善待别人，逆境中善待自己。罗曼罗兰说：“这世界只有一种真正的英雄主义，那就是在看清生活的真相之后依然热爱生活。”加油。
希望这些方法对你能有所帮助，情绪低落的时候就试试吧。我们下期见。
