Yeasts are fungi. And fungi, genetically, have more in common with animals than they do plants. (Not that it should matter to the vegans, because as far as we know fungi still can’t feel anything)
As an elitist, speciest bastard, yeast aren’t an animal product. Veganism is about animal cruelty. If you want to start a new fungal rights movement, be my guest.
some people become vegan over animal cruelty. i know vegans who have that diet because they think it will help them recover from overexercise better and some who got bit by ticks. i’m sure people have more reasons than these three.
And that’s why I admire the Jain monks of India - those actually abstain of everything that implies harming a living being, and with that I mean EVERYTHING. They don’t eat tubers as to not kill plants, don’t consume water unless it’s filtered to remove bacteria, don’t turn fires on during the night to avoid killing insects, and a long long list of restrictions that make vegans look like hypocrites.
Sadly, no. The smallest livestock, yeast, were used to make the bread.
Is yeast actually a problem for vegans?
No, only because they ignore the fact they’re elitist, speciesist bastards. If honey isn’t vegan, then yeast ought not to be.
Isn’t yeast kind of it’s own thing, kinda halfway between bacteria and fungi? Honey is very clearly an animal byproduct.
No, it’s literally fungi…

Mushrooms are vegan, if that helps.

Honey is produced by a kind of farming of bees, an animal. Yeast just kinda is and grows
There is both wild and cultivated yeast.
Sure, but it just is and grows, in the cultivation vats
Mushrooms are also vegan… Like, wtf do they think could be the problem with yeast?
Most plants are cultivated too, that isn’t really a concern vegans have.

No.
No, but it can be a problem for vaginas.
LOL, you silly. Vegans would have to live in TSMC clean-rooms their entire lives to avoid consuming yeast, and it probably wouldn’t work.
Vegans probably eat more yeast than normies.
Works for me!
