    You eat their little farts trapped in the dough, you know that?

    You are disgusting.

    Beer’s similar: Give beer sugars, the yeast generates poison to try and prevent other microorganisms from surviving and eventually the yeast poisons its own environment enough that it can no longer continue living.

    It’s fine they wouldn’t have lived at all otherwise.

    You gave them the gift of a happy life and a purpose.

    That’s more than most of us get

    It’s even worse when you bake sourdough. I’ve been cultivating that yeast colony, caring for it, loving it. It thinks I care, but it’s only being prepared for slaughter.

      sourdough

      yeast colony

      Bacterial colony, no?

      Also, you kill only half of them each time. For the sourdough starter, it’s like a Thanos-snap coin-flip everytime you bake bread. The bacteria in your current sourdough starter come from a long line of statistically lucky ancestors.

      I suppose that’s kind of true for all of us, though…

        Bacterial colony, no?

        It’s both yeast and bacteria.

          Nice. The only thing that would make this better is if you asked for yeast cells instead of bacteria, since yeast are fungi.

    Share a thought for all the genetically engineered bacteria strains that produce essencial products to maintain our colective civilization.
