If there's a little bit of mold on bread or cheese, would you tear that piece off and eat the unmoldy part of said food item?

I thought that if it molded in one area that means the other area will get molded very shortly too

it does imply that, that's why you have to eat it fast!

But mold in large quantity is detectable by the human eye but in small quantity, the human eye cannot detect it. So I argue that because you see mold in one area, the other area of the cheese is probably already molded but not yet detectable by the human eye.

From the mayo clinic...also has a list of which cheeses you can cut mold away:

Bread I imagine to be bad because it's so porous.

Oh wow, I had no idea that different cheese should be treated differently. I'm curious as to what happens when you have a hybrid cheese? I assume it's a totally different type of beast.

I usually throw out the whole loaf if I see mold. Moldy food will give you an upset stomach and probably not worth the health risks.

I'm very picky about what I eat because when I was younger I gave my dad food poisoning by leaving some chinese food I had made setting out to long and it went bad. He ended up at the hospital and had to have his stomach pumped. I don't eat things that have expired dates or have set out to long and I definitely wouldn't eat anything that had mold on it even if I could cut the bad part away.
