Do vegans eat bread?!


Question:

Do vegans eat bread?

Just wondering cause, you know, bread has yeast in it and yeast is technically a living organism. Ya know?

And how about honey?


Answers:
Yes, we eat bread. It's only animal tissue and byproducts that we avoid.

BTW, most bread does not contain animal byproducts. The rare exceptions (you have to read the ingredients) contain milk.

It is easy to make bread without milk or eggs. Even most donuts, muffins, cakes, etc. can be made without dairy and come out great.

Also, even vegetables are living organisms....but they don't bleed, don't have parents, and don't feel emotions (as we know them).

There are a lot of reasons besides morality to become a vegetarian though. Check out the website below for environmental and health as well. Thanks!

hmmm, the vegan i know does but thats a good question. i'll have to ask him about that.

yes vegan's eat bread. they simply do not eat animals or products that come from animals.

yes we eat bread. strict vegans dont eat/use anything from a animal, which includes honey. others are not so strict.

yes

does yeast come from an animal? no.... so yes vegans eat bread

Yes!

Yes they do

Yeast is more like a fungus than an animal. Vegans eat bread and mushrooms.

Most do not eat honey, but some feel it is rather difficult to mistreat an insect?-(

Yes, they do eat bread. You don't have to use yeast if you don't want, they have unsprouted bread and it's nice. Yeast is in everything, have you heard of wild yeast? That's how yeast was developed, some wild yeast landed on unleavened bread dough.

well, u dont hav to go to microscopic being to prove existance of living being in our food...the plants that we eat r alive too...but can u say anything that can survive without eatin plants directly or indiectly....
well... dont want to be part of those cruelty to animals , that r done knowingly to save extra work ...go see the slaughter houses & the way the animals live till they die..will sure sour heart .....animal sacrifice for us & we be so insensitive to their pain ...not fair...& most animal flesh aint indispensible..plants r healthy food enough....well as for honey cant replace it so..use it limited not exploit it...more over honeybees aint hurt in those process ..some time they maybe but thats rare.....respect life..use alternative ways so all live in peace..if not possible use limited & least one can do is respect life... & if theres unncessary cruelty, can leave that too...i dont believe in doing wat i dont like being done to me...& humans r far more superior & can sure hav better ways to get meat in humane way...so why exploit ???....

I don't know but try STEAK

Yeast doesn't have feelings like animals do. I think because of this, most vegans don't have a problem eating it.

The honey thing is a bit of a toss up. I know some "vegans" who eat it, and some who don't. Technically it's a bug-product, not and animal-product. Some research shows that again, bees don't have the capacity to be sensitive like animals to being forced into labour. Essenially honey is bee barf, so I know some don't eat it just because of this fact. The honey thing is a little bit of a gray area.

Vegans do not eat or use products that come from animals.

All plants are living organisms. Yeast is a type of fungus and is a plant. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/yeast...

Many brands of bread don't contain dairy eggs or honey and are naturally vegan.

Although honey is not considered vegan, there is some debate in the vegan community as to whether of not eating honey is ethical.

Plants are technically living organisms too.
Yeast does not feel pain, therefore it is perfectly OK to eat yeast. It's not an animal, it's a fungus.

Yeast is a plant cell as far as I know. Nice try though. Like they don't have a small enough choice of food...

i wouldn't worry about the yeast, but most bread has eggs in it, specially pancakes and muffins and stuff like that you know...
