I mean Yeast isn't generally considered mold.

Fermentation is still resulting in live organisms. Which essentially is what makes up a lot of food we eat. It doesn’t come out of a machine as only one atomic building block. And it is absolutely necessary in our nutrition to have this biodiversity even on a micro level to keep our body functioning.

Though it doesn’t mean you go lick the black mold in your shower. Just get some basic education of nutrition to the point you’re not so absolutely this negligently dumb about food as the OP.

Unless you're drinking unfiltered beers, you shouldn't actually have any live yeast left in your beer. And if there are prepare t6o be gassy as fuck for the rest of the day.

Well everything we eat was once living, or a product of something living. It's not why people don't like eating mold.

Mold still tastes nasty as fuck, blue cheese included, even if that particular mold is safe to eat.

It tastes nasty to you. That's not something objective thing. You can dislike it all you want, but that doesn't mean other people think the same.

And you can't just say "all mold tastes nasty", different kinds used in different ways have as wide of a spectrum of tastes as anything else. Common things that use mold: soy sauce, miso, tempeh, sake, cured meats, and many different kinds of cheeses (not just blue cheese) and more.

I’m not forcing you to eat it but preference alone isn’t enough reason to be spreading misinformation and just being stupid. Just say you don’t like it. Stay away from educating anyone on it being anything more than your preference though.

What misinformation? That yeast isn't mold? That's not misinformation.
