ive talked to a few different people, and i am getting conflicting opinions on wether or not yeast is vegan. and also the probiotic cultures in yoghurts. can anybody please clarify?? thank you.<br><br>
by the way, cooking up vegan meals every day feels so good <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/wink3.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">

I just remember when I was little and my mom told me that yeast was 'alive' I always thought I saw them moving after that <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/laugh.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":lol:"> But they're ok to eat!

I can't imagine life w/o yeast.

Yeast and bacteria are fine to eat or kill.

this is amazing!

I remember when I first heard about veganism I came across something saying vegans couldn't eat bread because you use live yeast to make it and it kills the yeast. I thought it was pretty weird since we kill yeast and bacteria all the time simply by existing.

Oh wow, I thought this would be about some scary "down there" disease. Carry on, then.

Yeast are fungi. Just like mushrooms and athlete's foot.
