Are yeasts plants?

Question

I am considering changing to a plant-based diet.  Some vegans are assuming that yeasts are animal, which would leave yeast-raised bread off of the acceptable food list.  Hence, my question.  Thanks for your answer.  Any additional thoughts on that?

Answer

Yeast are smaller than animal and plant cells. They aren't really considered plants, but they are a type of fungi. Hope this helps :)

Answer

You are talking about a religion, and a religion based on guessing instead of knowledge. Why bother? The Christian bible says you can eat anything sold in a grocery store. Food only feeds the physical body. It has nothing to do with spiritual concerns.
