I am not a biblical historian, but I do remember this bit from school: The point of eating bitter herbs and unleavened bread is not because yeast is alive or anything to do with animal vs plant or modern scientific methods (as I initially related it to not eating meat on Fridays for catholics), it is to sympathize/empathize/experience the struggles of early judaic ancestors when they were made to leave, and did not have but the scarcest resources while they traveled.

- 0des 5y agoI was referencing my earlier comment, when I was learning this years ago my assumption was that it was about not eating animals like catholics on certain fridays, because I was not familiar with the origins of the tradition until learning it in school. I suppose I could have paid more attention when we got to Ezekial.
