PETA is re-running their Got Beer campaign again now that Harvard has released findings similar to their original campaign that beer is a healthier drink thank milk. The intent is to highlight reasons not to drink milk rather than to drink beer, but its a very targeted campaign. Says the campaign:
“The scientific evidence is conclusive: Beer in moderation is good for you, while even one glass of milk supports animal abuse and harms your health,†says PETA’s Director of Vegan Outreach Bruce Friedrich. “You can drink beer responsibly, but the same can’t be said of milk.”
Evidently PETA is not yet concerned with the bajillions of yeast cells that died for your beer. Yet.
Nor the gelatin in some of ’em.
I can here those little yeast cells screaming while getting washed down the drain! This made me sad until I realized that I could drink the alchohol they made for me. I’m all better now.

Every beer is a wake for the yeast cells that gave their lives in servitude of the cause.
If you reuse your yeast cakes once in awhile, you can start feeling less guilty.
