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.

by the way, cooking up vegan meals every day feels so good

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

But they're ok to eat!

I can't imagine life w/o yeast.

Yeast and bacteria are fine to eat or kill.

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.
