The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

Yeast is a single celled fungus and not an animal. The line is at animals.

It is absolutely ok to pass judgement on people for doing something cruel, torturous, environmentally damaging and unnecessary.

I pass judgement on Israel for carrying out a terrorist attack.

Get the out of here with this no one can pass judgement and what about the plants nonsense.

swatting a mosquito then? the argument remains valid

Not really, you aren't systematically torturing mosquitos when swatting them to protect yourself. Vegans are against large scale insect control.

You have the right to defend yourself.

I am against that yes, there are more humane ways to protect yourself from insects including mosquito repellant and I think theres like a super high pitched noise they don't like

If the line is at animals we commit genocide of small multicellular animals in order to get clean water

You are being purposefully fucking obtuse and ridiculous to make a shitty point.
