*All* cheese rind is edible... wax/paper/plastic coverings/wrappings
are not rind. Even wax coverings are edible, just not very palatable,
although some of the cheeses with very thin wax coatings are eaten
with the wax. But that metalic foil on your brick of Veveeta and the
jar from your Cheez-Whiz is not edible. I can already tell from the
replies on this thread that the only cheese rfc'ers actually know are
fast food burger cheese... none even know what's cheese rind because
they've never met any up close and personal.

Thanks for posting this question... you surely exposed a whole lot of
phoneys.
