“Every year billions of yeasts are forced to work their little TCA cycles off in hot smelly conditions in giant metal prisons so that other people can have cheap green beer”.
“We have taken photographs, but they are simply too graphic to show – baby yeasts, barely 43 minutes old and already forced to work for the cheap thrills of others” “Yes, some of these yeasts are very proud that they are responsible for an entire nation being able to celebrate their national holiday and stereotype, but for most yeast it is a miserable existence”.
