Fungus is the Earth's digestive system, it's the main thing making sure everything gets recycled within a reasonable time frame

Yet it’s perfectly fine for most people to eat blue cheese, and being excessively careful about not ingesting microbes comes with its own set of problems Homemade or homestyle jam is gonna have mold. End of story

Lol okay sure This is like people who just think it's normal to get bad diarrhea every few days from eating meat

Look you know the production of blue cheese these days is tightly regulated, right, and they actually inject the spores they want to try to make sure it doesn't grow the wrong ones It's not saying "Fuck it eat whatever you want it won't hurt you"

Roquefort cheese can in fact "go bad", you have to eat it within a certain time frame If you let it fully "spoil" (by, say, leaving it in a warm place for a long time) the waste products the mold makes are a toxic carcinogen

I didn’t say it can’t go bad. It’s also very different than jam.

Okay It's not normal or okay for jam to get moldy If/when you see it get moldy you have to throw the whole thing out

This isn't a venue to debate the Clean Room Hypothesis and talk about our weakened immune systems or whatever It's not a new rule, our ancestors two hundred years ago knew if there was mold in the jam you had to throw it out

Lots of hungry people have figured out that in fact, you don’t have to throw it all out. Throw out the moldy part and some extra buffer area. You should be fine if you’re not immunocompromised. It’s not that complicated. My grandma does it all the time.

As the owner of a restaurant you don't know who is or isn't immunocompromised (or the reverse, who has a serious allergy) You're also not a mycologist and probably don't know what specific strain of fungus it is and if you got an unusually toxic one

Everything cuts both ways. This mold could be keeping out some worse mold that would occupy the same metabolic niche. Trying to get prevent any mold from growing using chemicals is a very BAD THING as it selects for the most virulent strains. But I’m no mycologist

or we could just not sell jam that is presently being the filled metabolic niche of any mold at all?
