        Except, in cheese and some sausages. Also, I’m not sure yeast counts, because it’s usually dead by the time we eat it in our food.

          As long as the organism is dead, we’re not eating it? Time to have some steak then, surely that’s not a cow!

            lol, yeah, but when baking, the yeast gets destroyed pretty bad. i didn’t dare call it yeast at that point, but maybe you’re right.
