Man Fined With $20 billion For Giving Away Yeast Starter

San Francisco, CA- Harold Lee was stunned to find out that he was being sued $20 billion for giving away yeast starter. Yeast is a fungus used in bread that cause the dough to rise. If preserved correctly any piece of the dough would contain the yeast starter and could be saved for later use.

Yeast Bay Yeast Producer, DJ Blake explains the reason for the lawsuit."Our scientists invested a lot, both in money and time to find the right conditions to cultivate the yeast. We fully understand that once it's made, water and flour would allow it to grow continuously. But if someone were to give away part of the dough that contains the yeast starter, it will damage our company."

Co-Producer Phil T Rich further elaborated. "This is essentially stealing because his friend did not buy the yeast starter. You wouldn't steal bread from a grocery store, right? This is the same thing."

But Harold Lee countered the remarks. “It’s absolutely outrageous to compare this to stealing bread. I bought the yeast starter legally, used it to make bread, and gave my friend some of the dough that I’d wash out anyways. I fail to see how that should be in any ways illegal.”The

hearing will begin March 15.
