^ True.
If you're actually craving it, you might have a vitamin deficiency.
Voted : Yes, you are weird for eating yeast.
Well I'm a baker, and many of the people I have worked with in the trade eat it too. You fucking freak! :-)

I'd be careful, if you over do it, you might find yourself developing (Candida) an intestimal yeast infection.
You should never eat raw active yeast, since it will continue to grow in your intestine and rob your body of valuable nutrients. But once deactivated through pasteurization, yeast is a good source of nutrients.
Yeast activates at 105° - 115° F, well below body temperature, But it's no gaurentee to protect against an intestinal yeast infection. Especially if you eat the raw bread dough.
Yeast is everywhere, and everyone has some in their system all the time, so all that has to happen for an overgrowth to occur is to give it a chance -- and it will grow like crazy. The most common enablers are:
Taking antibiotics kill off the “good” intestinal bacteria, and leave open space for yeast to grow.
A high sugar or carbohydrate diet provides yeast with all the fuel it can use to grow profusely.
Yeast kills their prey by poisoning them with a variety of very potent toxins and enzymes --the same way that snakes and spiders kill their prey. These toxins circulate in your blood, in effect, poisoning you all over. One of the features of these toxins is to kill immune system cells, making you less able to defend against a yeast infection, and making an intestinal yeast infection much harder to get rid of.
Candida is extremely hard to get rid of, because it doesn’t just live inside the intestines, but penetrates into the intestinal wall where it is protected from any agent that doesn’t get absorbed. If you don’t kill them in the intestinal wall, they just regrow back into the insides of the intestine.
Candida overgrowths are commonly accompanied by both pathogenic bacteria and parasites. The yeast forms a coating on the mucosal lining of the intestines, and that lining provides protective cover for the growth of these other undesirable agents.
If you have a Candida overgrowth, then you need to treat both the Candida and parasite infections concurrently. FYI, Weirdo! j/k
Quite a bit of the population is sensitive to yeast (more than you think). A good book to read is "The Yeast Connection". According to this book, consuming yeasty food (and certainly pure yeast) can lead to depression (if I remember correctly) and lots of other problems.
Voted : Yes, you are weird for eating yeast.
But i eat weird stuff too, so don't feel weird!
Voted : No, you aren't weird for eating bread yeast.
But I'll be certain to say nice things at your wake.
No, what makes you weird is the continual crap that you spew out trying to make yourself appear weird. You're just exactly he same as the million other average, attention seeking geeks out there.
