Sadly, no. The smallest livestock, yeast, were used to make the bread.

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.

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.

Honey is produced by a kind of farming of bees, an animal. Yeast just kinda is and grows

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.

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.

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.

I just watched a slightly boomerbait youtube video where a bunch of English high school kids try American barbecue and sides, and apart from the sweet tea, the only thing most of them disliked was the cornbread, though to be fair half of them decided that because it looked like cake it was supposed to taste like cake.

Silly Brits. The stuff that tastes like cake is the stuff that looks like bread.

I do love literal wording like this. Cheesecake also comes to mind, just slap some Monterey Jack onto my birthday cake, thanks.

In the UK, it's not unusual at Christmas time to have a piece of christmas cake (fruit cake with fondant icing) with a slice/lump of mature cheddar cheese. Not sure if it's specifically for the taste or to aid with your mandatory 12000 calories per day intake over the festive period. Either way, it's bloody tasty.
