Serious question- how much cheese is too much?

[Bernadine]

Say you have .425 lb of a deliciously creamy brie cheese, that is delicious and totally hitting the spot.  How many servings should I be making that?

[waffletime]

All of them.

Saying you have too much cheese is like saying you have too much money. No such thing.

[emsumm]

Mmmm, brie :-(

I always eat all the cheese, so I googled!

No amount of cheese is too much.

[katb]

That is only half of a serving - go get more!

(Whatever amount will make you shit your pants) - 1 bite

It constipates a lot of people. Do you have an allergy?

Not an allergy, no. But too much dairy gives me the runs.

Why so sad? Brie is delicious!

You're not supposed to eat soft cheeses while pregnant.

[zoidberg]

In my house that is one serving.

[copperboom]

One. One serving.

You're not supposed to eat UNPASTEURIZED soft cheese when pregnant. You'd probably have to actively seek out unpasteurized cheese in most places.


This goes for a "fingernail's worth of feta" too. <-- reminds me why I haven't slaughtered out The Bump boards this pregnancy. 


ETA - "sought" out. I think this is super fitting though.

Yes, you're not supposed to eat unpasteurized cheeses while pregnant.

That is why I'm assuming emsumm posted the crying emoticon.

Most Brie is pasteurized, but then they add on the mold after,, so you're not supposed to eat it when pregnant. Actually, I swear I'm finding it harder this time to find good cheese that is pasteurized. I was semi scolded by the cheese monger at Whole Foods yesterday for picking up some Comte.

Interesting. I have never heard that part about it being added after. I was previously told by my Dr and MW that it was fine as long as the label said past., and places like WF need permission to import raw milk cheeses in Canada from previous reading.  Things may have changed though. They are always changing. Also, pity me. We are +1.5 hours away from good WF cheese.  I miss my home town and WF. 


More reading....

So it sounds like you can use raw milk of a certain age to make unpasteurized cheese in Canada, as well as import.

I have fallen down the most delicious rabbit hole of reading ever. 

[Bernadine]

The brie is from WF. I stopped myself at a little more than half, so I have something to look forward to tomorrow.

Yep! You should have some emsumm. I went to the doctor last week and she told me soft cheeses are perfectly fine as long as they're pasteurized.
