    Because what you see that we call mold is the fruit of a vast root system. In hard cheese if you can cut an inch or two in every direction from the mold you likely will get the root system with it. With a soft cheese (or bread) that root system is likely spread through the food pretty thoroughly.

      Look at Mr Money bags over here, throwing away 3-4 inches of cheese when even the store brand stuff is like $15 a block!
