How does yeast survive without any food or water without dying for years in a pantry, then you just add water and sugar and it comes to life and creates air. Is it unetical to cook them alive? Do they feel pain? If people are mad about lobsters being cooked alive why do we still cook yeast alive?

Bakers yeast is a type of fungi, yeast meaning they reproduce via budding. So do they feel anything? No, feeling pain is extremely advanced. Do they have consciousness? No they lack brains, ganglion. They are almost just a sack of chemicals. Like bacteria, they cannot have sentience, so it unethical to use them? No more than eating plants which are far more advanced life forms.
