Everybody in the Pool

E86: Savor and the science of building a better butter


Listen Later

This week on Everybody in the Pool, we’re still diving into the choices that you can make as a consumer, in our Earth Month of personal climate action! And this one is a biggie: food. We love a climate entrepreneur with a vision to solve a big problem who goes looking around and lands on one you might not have thought of. Savor founder Kathleen Alexander did her research and landed on fats and oils, which are detrimental in all kinds of ways, from the way we practice agriculture to deforestation to energy use. Her company uses molecular construction to create replacement versions of fats and oils, starting with a butter that’s good enough to be in the chocolates of a Michelin-star restaurant. Taste test within!
