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

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

You’re just wrong about this. I guess everyone is used to having preservatives in everything. Some of which are carcinogenic. Even with preservatives, there is no jam which will not get mold in it over time. If you take off the mold and some extra jam, you should be fine

Yeah I consider this deeply irresponsible advice, especially if you're lying to the customers about it You and your family can take whatever risks you want, you can't ask the public to take that risk on your behalf

I agree they should advertise that their jam doesn’t have preservatives and whatnot. It also probably tastes better. Everything is a tradeoff.

I should emphasize my belief that artificial preservatives are, like air conditioning and single use plastic packaging, much maligned but legitimately a great human invention we would be much poorer without

But of course we're not talking about artificial preservatives, we're talking about this lady's terrible decision to skimp on NATURAL preservatives, the natural preservative that defines "preserves" in the first place (sugar)

I know that. Idk if you’re performing for your followers or what. No amount of sugar is going to perfectly or indefinitely protect jam from mold.
