    I’ve always wondered about nutritional yeast though.

    Like. How is that vegan.

      We breathe in a swallow billions of bacteria all the time. Is that vegan?

        … Nutritional Yeast is eaten on purpose though.

          If you know bacteria exist and keep breathing, you are also ingesting them on purpose no?

            We may have found the densest substance known to man here folks.

            Breathing is a required function of living. If I don’t breath then I die. If I try to stop breathing I will pass out and my body will breathe automatically. I am not choosing to breathe.

            Eating is a requirement. Eating nutritional yeast is optional. You choose to eat it.

              You are asking if YEAST is vegan, how am I dense? Veganism is related to ANIMAL products, yeast is not an animal! Just think for two seconds before commenting if you don’t want people to be rude online lmao

              Asking if yeast is vegan is as stupid as asking if getting high on shrooms is vegan… like people man cmon…

                So having been able to answer my initial question with a simple “no yeast isn’t an animal” you opted to ask me obtuse questions hoping I’d infer the magic knowledge.

                Again you are in fact the fucking dense one.

      It is a yeast, yeast doesn’t have nerve endings or a brain and therefore can’t feel pain and suffer.

        Is jelly fish vegan then?

        Mushrooms have complicated communication systems and reproduce sexually, why are they vegan?

          Maybe? Idk? I don’t know anything about them therefore I personally wouldn’t hurt them. It’s also kinda weird splitting hairs like this with someone that chooses to send fully conscious beings to slaughter.

          No one’s forcing you to comply with a specific interpretation of veganism. You can choose your own journey here.

        Can’t feel pain and suffer in any way we’re capable of understanding.

        Is it a lack central nervousness that makes something vegan?

        To me it feels arbitrary, I’m asking because I’m genuinely curious.

        are flatworms vegan?

        Anyone confused like me: it literally just appears to be animals. If it isn’t technically an animal it is fair game.
