PSA: Don't eat the clean part of moldy bread

[Fijimn]

I knew all those years of my mom cutting off the moldy part of bread and cheese was going to shorten my life.

Dropping moldy bread into hydrochloric acid will generally destroy the bread mold - breathing in the spores is a different situation entirely.

How is that not common sense?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen mold on store bought bread before though. We make our own with a machine and it has no preservatives. If it’s not used in three days I slice it and take it out of the container so it can go stale for breadcrumbs, croutons, etc. if not it will grow mold.

Nonsense. Penicillin kills bad germs. Penicillin comes from mold. Hence, eating moldy bread must be good for you.

I know you're joking but sadly this is the type of kindergarten science logic a lot of adults out there are using to make life decisions these days.

The bolilo rolls we buy get moldy pretty fast because they don't have preservatives. But they are only 20 cents per roll, so i toss if they are not used in a couple of days. Things were pretty tight for my mom and me for a few years and she would just toss out the moldy piece of bread or cut the mold off the cheese

Cheese is different. You can safely eat hard or
Semi-soft cheeses after cutting the moldy part off.

The bread we buy at the store doesn't have preservatives in it so we freeze half the loaf and refrigerate the rest. It will mold in about 4-5 days.

Meh, I have done it a few times and never even died or nothing.

Blue cheese is what it is because of mold.

Like the "if a little of this (medicine, vitamin, etc) is good, more of it is better"

Or “I haven’t seen anyone die from (whatever) lately so I don’t have to worry about it.”

Blue cheese is mold right?

I take it you didn't read the entire thread.

It's tough to read 12 posts.

oh I read but no one pointed out the fact that not only is blue cheese moldy, it actually looks and tastes moldy.
