I just don't feel comfortable eating the rind. It looks disgusting.

I suppose it's a "judgment call" as to whether or not you eat the
rind.

What do you fine folks think?

Eat the rind. If you don't like that, then brie and camembert are not
cheeses for you.

I eat the rind. It is harmless. Paring it off removes too much of that
delicious cheese and it takes too much time.

I think you might be right. I've been eating a lot of brie and
camembert recently. Today is the first time I tried eating the rind,
and I feel a little unwell. Perhaps I should give cheese a miss for a
while.

If you have a perfectly ripe Camembert or Brie, you are going to throw
away half the cheese to get rid of the rind. These cheese are
supposed to be butter soft and almost flowing.
I'd give these cheese a miss if the rind bothers you.

The phrase "eating a lot of" calls for some quantification. How much is
"a lot"? Feeling intestinally blocked, perhaps? Maybe this person
shouldn't eat so much cheese.

I definitely eat the rind when it comes to brie. I've never bought
camembert but if it's as soft as brie I'd eat the rind, too.

To be REALLY pedantic, it's Penicillium camemberti.

Sometimes? If you don't have a clue what to do with brie or camembert,
stick with "American cheese" or "Swiss". Barbarian.

The rind is mostly just the air-dried skin of the cheese that's inside
it. Same taste, different texture.

He doesn't understand "the facts".

Cutting off the rind to "avoid penicilliums", is like a vegetarian
thinking the meat in a chicken is only in the skin so if he cuts off the
skin, what's inside is vegetarian food.

The introduced penicilliums used in production of Brie, Roquefort,
Camembert etc don't stop at the skin. They are what goes into the
cheese to give it that flavour, consistency, (and blue or green veins
in blue cheeses).

from his posting, it does seem that what he has read puts the mold on
the outside of the cheese, no mention that the mold makes the cheese
from the inside out. But as you say, if he thinks it looks disgusting
it will be disgusting. Didn't he just say he ate some and now he
feels ill?

You should just eat whatever you like and forget about what other people think. Do not eat the rind in an effort to "fit in." Wave your freak flag high! People that believe they'll prolong their life by eating moldy cheese rind are highly likely to be delusional.

Agreed. Hard to believe anyone would seek it out.
