Is it normal to chew the red waxy thing that comes with cheese?

You know, that red wax thing thats on that cheese called babybell and certain other cheeses, i love chewing it, sometime i spit it out sometimes i slowly swallow it piece by piece

    You mean the rind? I bought myself some Brie last week and I made the mistake of eating the waxy rind. I hadn't eaten salty cheese in such a long time that I completely forgot about the rind. I ate it and I couldn't help but wonder why this "crust" tasted so bland and strange compared to the rest of the cheese. I don't know if it's healthy or normal but I doubt that it'll kill you.

    lol, I just squish it with my fingers untill it turns to basically playdough haha. I guess I'm not the only one who thinks the wrapping has a really cool texture

    Chew on it all you want, but don't swallow. It's a texture thing I guess for you. Whatever floats your boat. :)

    wax isnt bad to eat but the chemicals they mix in the wax could be bad for you. i would stop eating it if i was you. maybe swap the wax for another piece of cheese.
